I was excited to discover the perfect gift--for a coworker! My director at work is the best, so I wanted to show her how much I appreciate her. I ended up having so much fun with this project that I personalized sets for three different coworkers.

The Materials

Rustic Wood Unfinished Coasters, Acrylic Craft Paint, Adhesive Stencils, Sealer, Paint brushes

Pop, fizz, clink, cheers!
