I thought summer would never get here. But finally, it is here. Since it is summer, we usually spend more time outdoors. So much fun to be had outdoors in the summer! This includes eating and drinking outdoors. Along with drinking comes the need for summer drink coasters. These coasters help protect that gorgeous outdoor patio future from all sorts of drink mishaps.
But I realized I was lacking in summer coasters here. However, I didn’t want to spend a lot or take forever to craft summer drink coasters. Nothing is worse than spending a lot of money or time to make something.
So how did I make my summer drink coasters cheaply and quickly?
Therefore, I used Washi Tape to create pretty, inexpensive and fast summer coasters here.
All who follow my blog know that I just love Washi Tape for all sorts of crafting. Like when I made bookmarks or frames suing Washi Tape.

Plus, I also found some cheap wood squares at my local craft store for the summer drink coaster bases. Again, the cost here is nominal for all the supplies for this craft. So a win-win as far as this summer decor craft!

I had one of those moments in Michael’s where I bought some washi tape because it was pretty and on sale, not having any earthly idea what to use it for. This is a great idea for starters!
