Growing in Unity- Day 3- CHRISTMAS EVE

OK, so who doesn't look at the adorable wooden Unity tags that come with the stamp kits, and wonder, "what can I do with these??"
Well, I thought these were the perfect size for drink coasters!! I made a "his and hers" set of 4.
To do this, you will need:
four of the Unity wooden tags,
four corkboard coasters (you can usually find a multi-pack at Walmart for real cheap!!)
and whatever kinds of papers and embellishments you desire for decoration.
Oh, and Mod Podge too!
I started by first gluing the corkboard coaster to the back of the wooden tag. Use a craft knife to trim the edges off. Next, flip over the tag and begin painting the Mod Podge in an even coat, over the front of the tag. Place a 4X4 piece of Designer paper over the Mod Podge and firmly press any bubbles out. Trim off the excess, and sand edges, if necessary. Then, I painted Mod Podge over the DSP as well. Once dry, I stamped in black Staz On ink, right on the Designer paper side. Embellish as you desire. Here, I used foof-a-la buttons on the boy coasters and Rhinestones on the girly coasters. The stamps come from Unity Stamp Co: Dads of all Kinds (check out that kit, its 50% off!!! WOW) Fun Night Out, and Cocktail Party. Thanks for stopping by. HAPPY HOLIDAYS and HAPPY STAMPING!!
