Nothing says
“I love you”
more than a personalized gift..
made with loving hands.
♥
It doesn’t have to be “perfect”.. just original..
and simple is always nice!
I love these ones.. gold confetti, silver confetti hearts with a “heart of gold” in the mix, and an abstract doodle.
These Pink and Gold Valentine Confetti Coasters don’t just say..
“I love you”
but say..
“You’ll remember me, every time you look at my gift to you..
each time your gaze falls on my hand-written note..”
They’ll remember.. your favorite saying, like
“i love you, end of story!”
♥
They will remind you that
you
+
me
=
love

Pink and Gold Confetti Valentine Coasters
Materials
White hardware tiles
glass cleaner
gold, silver and bronze sharpie pen set
shades of pinks and red sharpie pens
clear paper reinforcements
paper
pencil
small plastic dots or felt squares
glue gun
Instructions
1. Practice your design by tracing around the hardware tile on paper. Sketch your layout and practice your handwriting if that is what you plan to do.
2. Spray glass cleaner and wipe tile clean and then thoroughly dry.
3. Write or draw your designs on the tiles and set aside to dry. If making little polka dots, place clear paper reinforcements on your tile, color in, let dry and remove plastic reinforcements.
4. To set your tiles, bake in 350F oven for 30 minutes.
5. Using your glue gun, affix small plastic dots or felt squares under the tiles so that they won’t damage side table surfaces, etc.
6. Give away.. and for best results, gently hand wash with mild soap.

Wouldn’t these be cute made by little ones? Their messages could be something personal shared between parent and child or grandparent and child.. you know, those little “nothings” you say when you tuck them in? Like “Love you to the moon and back.” “Love you more!” “Love you more than anything.”
If you are planning a wedding.. maybe these could be bundled at tables with pens so guests can write little notes for the Bride and Groom!
Such a beautiful idea Smidge! I love functional gifts like this.
Have a beautiful day.

Love this idea. Great for any event where personal messages would be a novelty. Thanks for the inspiration once again!
Another homerun hit idea for a DIY craft 🙂 One of the {many} reasons I love your blog is because you urge your readers to go out, get messy, and have fun – even if the outcome isn’t perfect. Which by the way, I’d say those coasters are perfection. Thanks for a great Valentine idea!
Those are gorgeous Barbara! And perfect thank you gifts for a wedding too. LOVE!
I adore this idea Smidge! And this is one I feel totally comfortable pulling off. 🙂 I also love your thought about the kids as well. I’m definitely making use of this idea!
Nothing else to say but Happy Valentine’s Day, Smidge 🙂
If anyone can make it happen, you can!
You are so right about these being both practical and personal, Barb. I love them. It would be fun to personalize them according to different occasions and the unique qualities the describe particular friends. Right away I’d like to give my granddaughters a chance to personalize for their parents…it would mark their age and ability at this time, too. It’s so simple, but I wouldn’t have thought to make them without your prompting! Thank you. ox
You are my inspiration for DIY craft with your practical ideas.
LOVEEE! These are TOO cute!!
These look good and I love the image of the champagne flutes with the jelly beans. I agree with you that handmade guests are always the most special and heartfelt xx
These are so lovely!! Thanks so much for linking up to the party!! xo
