This is what my kitchen looks like on a regular basis. No we did not have a party and there are only 5 people in my family. All the dirty glasses drive me crazy-especially since most only held water. I've tried assigning everyone a color-coded glass or writing names on each glass, but it didn't work. I decided to make each member of our family a coaster (and a few extra for guests) and then institute corporal punishment for anyone that doesn't put their glass on the assigned coaster.
I bought these tiles at Lowe's for about .30 a piece. You can use those felt furniture protecting pads, but I was out. Instead, I used a hole punch, some craft foam, and craft glue to make my own
I was going to do initials, but thought symbols would be more fun. I used these 2 cartridges
Then I stuck the vinyl on each coaster and sprayed them w/ a quick coat of polyurethane. Easy Peasy.
Guess which one is mine?
OK. This is freaky. At a friends house this week, I noticed she had this laminated placemat thing with everyone's names on a square for their glasses. I sent Graham a pic because that is his biggest pet peeve. And she told me she had bought tiles, but hadn't finished them yet!!!! And I thought it was genius. Look at you.
ReplyDeleteSo of course I want to enter....but how do I pick just one household chore that drives me nuts? I hate doing the dishes, I hate trying to keep the kitchen table wiped off, and my kitchen counter refuses to stay cleared off. EVER.
The Christmas coasters you gave me are out year-round at my house!!! Cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI HATE DUSTING!!!
new follower, love the idea! I've made coasters as well, but I tend to use scrapbook paper or wrapping paper, but the vinyl is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI hate folding laundry. wish it would fold itself...
I hate ironing--it is always postponed as long as possible.
ReplyDeleteFun blog! I have really enjoyed seeing your projects.
Hi! I'm totally enjoying your blog-- though I don't always get to it every day. I totally hate cleaning bathroom floors. I think if I don't win, I may use this idea for my "fun Friday" craft-ernoon with my friend and her 3 kids. We get together every few weeks to do something kid friendly and then the kids play and we get to chat for hours.
