Things That Go Round Cork Coasters
by

I saw a set of coasters from Anthropologie that I just fell in love with, but as usual, I was months too late to buy it, so I decided to make my own. I loved the theme of "things that are round" for round cork coasters, so I used the Anthropologie designs as an inspiration and designed a few of my own.
Since the pack of coasters I bought only had 4 in it, I had to decide on which 4 patterns I wanted, out of my brainstorming list of 8 or so! The 8-ball was obviously the easiest pattern, and I needed something to warm up with, since I was going to use my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the designs. I also knew I definitely wanted a bike tire because I'm into bikes, and I thought a dartboard would be cool because of the checkered pattern. For the last one, I couldn't decide whether I wanted to design a rotary phone, a pocket watch face, a globe or a compass, but decided to take it easy and do the compass.
Here's the beginning of the bicycle wheel...or is it a rotary phone?
The design process was pretty time consuming but I love how it turned out!

These are gorgeous! Do you have to seal them so they don't run from condensation on glasses?
