Fall Themed Coasters Receive A Bohemian Herringbone Makeover

Maybe you remember these coasters from last fall. I found them at our local Menards. They are still available online HERE.

I ended up creating a fall garland or banner with the coasters HERE.

I tried to sell the fall banner on Facebook marketplace last fall, with no luck.

I decided to give the coasters a makeover, and painted them using Fusion Mineral Paint in Ash, an acrylic paint.

Next, I pulled out this FolkArt Backgrounds Stencil Pack from Walmart. It has 6 different designs. I purchased the stenciled recently at Walmart for $2.97.

I chose the herringbone pattern, and pounced on the stencil using Fusion Mineral Paint in Raw Silk.

I didn't distress the coasters at all, but they needed to be sealed with an acrylic spray sealer like Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Matte Clear (several coats). Or Dixie Belle's Gator Hide, or other water resistant sealer.
