I've always envied bars with personalised coasters so when our custom stamper from Maemae & Co arrived, I was inspired to use it to stamp and heat emboss some sparkly coasters for the CO+K cocktail bar!

I've always envied bars with personalised coasters so when our custom stamper from Maemae & Co arrived, I was inspired to use it to stamp and heat emboss some sparkly coasters for the CO+K cocktail bar!

Instructions

  1. Small 110280 2f2015 08 04 055154 img 9850

    For this you'll need a set of 8 wooden circles, large enough for coasters. You could cut your own but I managed to find a pack at Hobby Craft which were the perfect size.

  2. Small 110280 2f2015 08 04 055224 img 9851

    Lay a sheet of scrap paper on your desk and paint each circle with black paint and leave to dry.

  3. Small 110280 2f2015 08 04 055337 img 9852

    Apply a second coat of black paint if it needs it and leave to dry again.

  4. Small 110280 2f2015 08 04 055417 img 9857

    Gather your materials, you'll need a rubber stamp, glittery embossing powder and ink in a matching colour.

  5. Small 110280 2f2015 08 04 055514 img 9858

    Coat your stamp with lots of ink. Make sure it's coated evenly.

  6. Small 110280 2f2015 08 04 055540 img 9859

    Firmly press the stamp down in the middle of your coaster. Apply a nice even pressure across the stamp to make your design come out perfectly.

  7. Small 110280 2f2015 08 04 055806 img 9862

    Carefully remove the stamp to reveal your design.

  8. Small 110280 2f2015 08 04 055657 img 9861

    Cover the entire coaster with lots and lots of embossing powder.

  9. Small 110280 2f2015 08 04 055756 img 9863

    Pick up your coaster and shake off any excess powder on to the paper. Carefully lift the paper and shake the powder back into it's pot.

  10. Small 110280 2f2015 08 04 055839 img 9865

    Hold a heat gun a few inches away from your design and heat until all the powder has fused.

  11. Small 110280 2f2015 08 04 060013 img 9867

    Continue making a whole set of coasters.

    Pour yourself a stiff drink and enjoy your new coasters!
