It's Friday and that makes me very happy! I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves weekends. They are the best! I get my hubby home for two straight days, we get projects done, we get to hang out with family or just relax. The weekend is full of possibilities and I love it!
Today has been a particular great day! Nothing special has happened. It has been just a normal, ordinary day but yet slightly better. The weather is simply amazing, my children have been angels, the housework has been going smoothly, and I even got to do a little craft. Crafting brightens any day, am I right?! I think is so cool to sit down and create something with your own two hands. The project for today: Scrabble Letter Coasters.
A few weeks ago, I mentioned my Pinterest Christmas idea for the family. For my grandmother, I decided to make her these coasters along with a few other darling goodies. She LOVES scrabble! Some of my earliest memories of her were sitting around a table sipping tea and playing scrabble. I remember playing with her but in reality, she would "help" me on every turn. It was pretty much her playing against herself. As I got older, I started to actually play and began to love it. I actually beat her last time we played and I got to say it felt good. It only took 16 years to get there but, hey, better late than never, huh? :)
When I first saw these coasters, I ran up the street to the local Michael's as fast as I could. I just know she will love these. I can picture her at her dining room table playing scrabble while her hot tea rests upon these adorable coasters. Seriously adorable, right? Anyways, besides their obvious charm, they were super easy to make! It took me a total of 30 minutes to make four coasters.
DIY Scrabble Letter Coasters
four cork squares
bag of scrabble letters (Amazon)
hot glue gun
extra hot glue sticks
....that's it, that's all you need!
So there you have it! Now you are all set to make these totally cute coasters! See how cute...
For this weekend, we have a few fun things planned. We have to run to the grocery store (exciting, huh?), the kids need hair cuts, the garage needs organizing, and an exciting, surprise trip to Busch Gardens. I hope everyone else enjoys their weekend and maybe, just maybe get a little crafty?
