Hi there Simply Designers! We are twin sisters Kelli and Kristi of Lolly Jane, our eclectic craft/DIY blog, and are excited to take part in this cool Silver and Gold series. We are sharing a modern project, something a bit out of the norm to us, as we typically lean towards a shabby farmhouse distressed style. Since color block is all the rage right now, though, we thought we'd try our hand at it with our painted modern color block coasters:

While Christmas shopping at Joann, I spied a pack of 4x4" cork coasters for only $1.99 and knew I needed to spruce these up!

Cute Cork Coasters

Using Martha Stewart's silver and brass liquid gilding + painters tape, we turned these standard cork pieces to modern coasters in no time at all!

    What a great gift idea! I love that you can customize the colors to fit any style. Plus the fact that they're so frugal gets me excited!
