Decorate your Christmas table with coasters for glass – because Christmas cheer doesn’t include rings on the table!
Christmas is the season of the heart, but it’s also a time for red wine spills, coffee cups and glasses that leave annoying little rings on your fancy Christmas table. Luckily, there’s a solution – coasters! But not just any coasters. No, we’re talking about the most fun, cozy and Christmassy versions you can imagine. Read on for inspiration on how to make your Christmas even cozier – and ring-free!
When the Christmas table turns into a glass war zone
Picture this: You’ve set the most beautiful Christmas table, the lights are shining, the napkins are folded like little Christmas trees, and everything is perfect… Until someone puts a dew-soaked glass directly on the tabletop. Disaster! The Christmas peace is interrupted by an annoying walk where you frantically try to wipe the table while guests look at you in wonder. Sound familiar?
The worst part? Glass rings are like the uncle who never goes home – they stay put! No one wants a permanent reminder of Aunt Karen’s mulled wine from 2021 scratched into the table.
Why are coasters for glass a Christmas miracle invention?
Enter the ultimate hero: the glass chip! A small but powerful invention that saves your Christmas table from looking like water damage. Not only that, it can also be part of your Christmas decorations.
And no, we’re not talking about the boring, solid-colored plastic variants that look like something out of a conference center. We’re talking about Christmas-themed DIY coasters that both protect the table and make your guests say, “Where did you get them from?”.
Make your own DIY coasters for the Christmas table
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to be a creative guru to make your own DIY coasters. In fact, you can do it with things you might already have at home! The possibilities are endless:
- Crochet coasters: Do you have some yarn and a crochet hook? Then you can quickly crochet pretty coasters with Christmas motifs. Perfect for anyone who loves needlework (or wants to learn).
- Wood slices with Christmas motifs: Do you have a friend with a saw or can you get some wooden disks? A little paint and you have rustic coasters for glass that scream Christmas spirit.
- Felt or cork with cut-outs: If you’re not a big craft enthusiast, you can cut out Christmas motifs from felt or cork and glue them together into neat coasters for glass.
- Recycle old Christmas cards: cut them into round or square shapes, laminate them – voila, you have unique coasters with nostalgic Christmas spirit!
If you can’t make them yourself, fear not – the internet is full of free patterns for crochet or DIY coasters. A quick search and you’re well on your way to a wandering ring-free Christmas table!
Extra tips: Make your coasters even more fun!
While you’re at it, why not make it extra festive? Here are a few ideas on how your coasters can be a conversation starter:
- Make personalized coasters for glass: Write the guests’ names on them so they double as place cards.
- Use funny quotes: “Just one more mulled wine” or “This coaster for glass prevents Christmas disasters”.
- Make them fragrant: Add a touch of cinnamon or fir oil to the material – Christmas spirit level 100!
- Make them like little puzzles: Each guest gets a piece of a larger design – perfect for family fun.
