Glasslets Micro Beads Christmas Coasters are the perfect Christmas in July project! I LOVE Glasslets so I thought I would create some Christmas Coasters to showcase them…and I love how they turned out! I see a lot of these in my future!

I tried several surfaces to make these Glasslets Micro Beads Christmas Coasters…wood coasters, tiles, plastic and mat board. Mat board was the winner, as they stacked up nicely, don’t take up a lot of room and the main reason was they seemed to the work best with all types of items placed on them, plus I like that the back side of the mat board would not scratch surfaces.
Let’s get started.
Step One:
With your cardstock right side up, this way you can look at the pattern of the cardstock and see what area you want for your coasters. Then, draw the outline for your coasters and cut out.
Step Two:
Apply a generous amount of mod podge on the top side of the coaster, being sure to go all the way to the edges without going over onto the sides. Place cut cardstock on top. Apply more mod podge on top of cardstock.
Step Three:
Working over a sheet of paper, place Glasslets into a small container and pour over the mod podge…
Step Four:
Completely covering the coaster. Then, press the Glasslets into the coaster with your hand or gently with a brayer.
Step Five:
Tap off excess Glasslets onto the copy paper and pour back into the container. Let dry.
Step Six:
Pour mod podge over the coaster.
Step Seven:
Then, brush the mod podge into the Glasslets on top of the coaster and along the edges. Let Dry. Repeat steps 1 – 6 for all coasters.

These would also make a great gift for anyone on your list this Christmas, just tie them up with a bow! You can also change the papers and make these for year around coasters too!
Enjoy your Glasslets Micro Beads Christmas Coasters…
