DIY Tailgate Party Coasters

Needing some fun DIY Tailgate Party Decorations this year for the Big Game? Check out these DIY Tailgate Party Coasters! They can even be DIY Football Coasters for any football-themed event or party.

DIY Tailgate Party Coasters are very simple to make. I purchased round granite coasters from a Joann Fabric store that came in a set of four. They were only a few dollars.

I also picked up a preserve moss sheet and black with a white border scrapbook numeric stickers. The yellow 3mm washi tape I already had in my crafting supplies, but it is easy to find at most craft stores in the Martha Stewart collection.

How to Make DIY Football Coasters

I began creating these DIY Tailgate Party Decorations by turning the preserved moss sheet upside down and tracing the coaster with a pen on the back. Using craft scissors, I cut out each circular shape from the moss. After letting my hot glue gun warm, I put a layer of glue on the top of the coaster.

I then laid the cut-out (moss side up) over each coaster; ensuring the edges were close to one another. I let that sit for a few minutes to dry.

Taking my 3mm yellow washi tape, I simply measured out the tape to one side of the coaster and cut. I then laid the tape over the moss. It stuck well, so no need to glue. I then added the “5” and the “0” from the scrapbook stickers to give a “50-yard line” feel and to commemorate the Big Game’s 50th anniversary.

Again, the stickers stuck fine to the moss with no need for glue. I also tested a glass that was sweating over each DIY Football Coasters to ensure the stickers and moss held up just fine.
