The kids and I made these easy paper photo coasters last year as gifts and they were a big hit so we put a twist to them this year by using colorful scrapbook papers.
This is a super simple gift kids can make. They’ll have tons of fun choosing the paper, tracing, and gluing them on the coasters.
Easy Paper Photo Coasters – Materials:
– round paper coasters (we got a pack of 50 here)
– various scrapbook paper designs
– pencil and scissors
– foam brush
– finishing spray (optional, if you want to add an extra protection of coating)
Instructions:
Step 1. Have kids trace out circles of paper using the coasters as templates. Cut them out.

Step 2. Place some Mod Podge in a bowl and have kids Mod Podge the coasters, place the paper circles over and Mod Podge over the circles. Allow to dry fully before packaging or using. Add a coating of finishing spray if using. You’re done!
Simply add a few coasters to a gift box and tie with ribbon or twine, Such a simple and easy gift kids can make.
I love the different color combinations you can make just using scrapbook paper. There are so many different designs available, it’s hard to choose!
