How to Make Faux Chalk Art Coasters

How to make Chalk Art Coasters
I've been playing with the Martha Stewart Adhesive Silkscreens again! This time I used the Elegant Alphabet & the Calligraphy Flourishes to create these fun Faux Chalk Art Coasters! If you're like me, and you love the look of Chalk Art, but can't pull it off with um ... actual chalk .. you will love this easy project!



I found these sets of 4 Slate Tiles at Michaels, for $2.99, the come in a set of 4, and you can choose from round or square.

Elegant Alphabet

Calligraphy Flourishes
Supply List:

1) Martha Stewart Adhesive Silkscreen 

2) Foam Pouncer 

3) Martha Stewart Gloss Glass Paint - Opaque White

4) Slate Tiles ( I got mine at Micheal's)


 Step 1: Apply the Adhesive Silkscreen, really all you do is stick it on the tile. So easy!


 Step 2: Apply the paint using a foam pouncer.

 Step 3: Remove the silkscreen immediately and make sure you wash it right away, so that you can use it over and over again! Let your project cure for 21 days and it will be waterproof!

 So easy and fun!!

I think these would make great gifts, maybe for a house warming or a bridal shower!  I hope you enjoyed this project!

  2. I like these- a lot! But you may want to line them with self stick felt so they don't scratch surfaces - or maybe they come that way?

  5. These are so pretty, Karen! I love the font. I must play with those silkscreens soon. I tried once awhile back on burlap and it was a big fail. You have inspired me to try again!

    1. Yes, give it another try Johnnie, I love them! I actually used the snowflakes on burlap and they turned out pretty well, so maybe it depends on the design.
