Woman Turns Matchbooks From Famous Restaurants Into Coasters and It's Genius

Traveling is one of the best aspects of life. It's so much fun to explore brand new areas, taste different cultural foods, witness stunning art and extravagant architecture, and meet people from all sorts of walks of life. By far, one of the best ways to celebrate traveling is through the essence of food.

There are famous restaurants all over the world. In fact, every city has a unique restaurant that's the mecca of the area. One woman thought up a genius idea for remembering these places by crafting a super unique coaster made from the matchbooks of the iconic restaurants. Check it out below!

Using silicone coaster molds, she arranges the matchboxes in each mold, placing them strategically in her layout. She pours epoxy over the matchboxes to create the coaster. After they dry, she pulls them out and displays them, each one a token of remembrance of her dining experience on her travels. Brilliant!

Fun Coaster Additives

Making coasters is one of the simplest DIY crafts to do. The supplies to get started don’t cost much, and the skills behind it are very simple to learn. Many things can go into your coasters to create unique designs.

Florals are one of our favorite things to add to DIY coasters. You can pick fresh or use dried ones and layer them to make fun patterns or go with a single flower. You can also use flowers from a special occasion, such as a wedding, for a longtime keepsake.

Pictures are another great way to craft a customized coaster. Choose images of your pets or loved ones, or even use high-quality prints from a photographer to create stunning picturesque coasters.

Whatever you choose to add to your coasters, make it fun and get creative!
