Colorful Confetti Coasters

The coasters are inexpensive to make and take no time at all, less than 30 minutes (allowing for drying time).  And……..you just have to smile when you look at them.

Confetti coasters make a great gift and are simple to make

You guys know those bright little dots have my name all over them. Bold colors are right up there with chocolate on my list of favorite things. Now to get to the project details.

How To Make Confetti Coasters

Step 1. Apply Hard Coat Mod Podge to the ceramic tile.

Step 2. Sprinkle confetti onto the tiles.

I grabbed a handful of confetti and dropped it on the tiles all willy-nilly. I left some of the confetti in layers just as it fell and some I spread out. The larger dots of confetti I laid on the coasters and worked around them with the smaller dots.

Step 3. Apply Hard Coat Mod Podge over the confetti.

Once the layer of confetti and Mod Podge is dry, coat the tile with several layers of Hard Coat Mod Podge allowing for drying time in between layers.

Step 4. Apply a layer of Gloss Mod Podge

You guys know I like the shiny stuff. I applied one layer of Gloss Mod Podge as the finishing touch.

Step 5. Add table protector pads

Now we need to add something to the bottom of the tiles to protect the table. I had a roll of cork in my stash so that’s what I used for the coaster pads. I cut a small square of cork for each corner and glued them on. Pre-cut adhesive pads would work great too.

  1. These are gorgeous and so much fun! You know I love all the shiny things too!! I would totally use a set {or two or three} of these in my house!

  7. I love your confetti coasters, but was wondering does they confetti not move when you apply the mode podge? Thanks.

    • Not really. Some of the pieces might move a bit but the Mod Podge does a good job of holding them in place. Put a layer of Mod Podge on the tiles before putting the confetti on.

  8. I love them Kathy!!!…yes.. great gifts and a great guest gift for your New Year’s guests too!

  10. Kathy, those are so pretty and cheerful! I love that you can use any color tile too, although white looks great with the little dots, which remind me of Tiddly Winks. It looks like an easy project. I would be delighted to receive a set of these as a gift, so I’m sure the recipient of yours will be pleased.

  11. These are so cute! I’ve made coasters with photos and napkins before, but I really like this idea as well. I’ll have to keep it in mind. It would make a fun Birthday gift too.
