    DIY Dominoes Coasters

    diy domino coasters Petticoat Junktion thrift store decor makeover challenge 2

    Good Morning and welcome to our first ever Thrift Store Decor Makeover Challenge.

    It’s going to be a monthly thing around here.

    I posted about the makeover challenge on Sunday because I couldn’t wait to tell you about it!

    For the challenge I made…..

    diy domino coasters Petticoat Junktion thrift store decor makeover challenge series

    DIY Dominoes Coasters from my thrift store finds.

    And if that wasn’t enough…..

    diy domino magnets Petticoat Junktion

    I made Dominoes Magnets too.

    It all started when I found these pretty dominoes at the thrift store right up the street from me.

    Now that tag says I paid 99 cents for the bag of dominoes but since I get the “better with age”  discount, they were only 70 cents.

    I loved the color and clear acrylic look.

    I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with them but I had to have them anyway.

    I found inspiration on Pinterest.

     

    diy project cork Petticoat Junktion

    The roll of cork has been in the workshop for a while.

    The granddaughter and I use it for all kinds of projects.

    I purchased it either at Hobby Lobby or Michaels…can’t remember.

    I laid out the dominoes….

     

    cutting cork Petticoat Junktion

    …then used a razor blade to cut the cork.

    The one with the yellow handle worked the best.

    Probably because it had the newest sharpest blade.

    Elmers glue Petticoat Junktion

    Then I used Elmer’s glue to adhere the dominoes to the cork.

    I set a weight on them while they were drying.

    The next part is where I tell you how I messed up.

    I glued the dominos to the cork but I didn’t glue the dominoes to each other……duh!

    You guys wouldn’t believe the number of times I mess things up.

    I grabbed the E-6000 and a toothpick and ran glue in between the dominoes.

    I let the glue harden and they were done.

    domino coasters Petticoat Junktion

    I only had enough dominoes to make 3 coasters.

    I started to just make a pair but what the heck.

    A trio sounded better.

    domino magnets Petticoat Junktion project

    I had three dominoes left and I spotted the magnets hanging on the pegboard….brainstorm.

    I have to say the magnet project was much easier than the coasters.

    Although neither project was hard.

    I would give both projects an easy rating of 2 on a scale of 1-5…1 being the easiest.

    Seriously, they’re both great projects for kids to make.

    Just watch them around the E-6000.

    That stuff is pretty potent.

    I would estimate the cost of both projects to be about $2 considering the dominoes, magnets, cork, and glue in the equation.

    See more coasters here and some vintage magnets here!
