Coasters are a must for every home and they can be a nice gift idea, so today’s roundup is dedicated to them but it’s special – it’s all about spring and summer as I’ve gathered botanical and floral coasters. Nothing brings a summer feel to your home more than botanicals and flowers, so it’s high time to make some of such pieces for your home. You’ll go for various techniques: crocheting, sewing, carving, decoupage and much more, choose a craft that you like, that fits your skills and the materials for which you already have and go for it.
Botanical Coasters
The first idea we are featuring today is a gorgeous modern piece that is sure to bring a vivacious tropical feel to your space – this is a cork monster leaf coaster. The piece is half painted white but you may actually not even paint it or make it in different colors for a bright touch. Tropical-themed decor is very popular now, so you won’t regret that. Making such pieces is very easy and won’t take much time, so go ahead and make them!

Floral Coasters
Florals scream summer and spring no less than botanicals, let’s take a look at floral coasters, too. The first craft from this part is a gorgeous floral coaster, it’s made of a wood slice and fresh blooms. How to attach the latter to the wood slices? Go for epoxy resin to make them look all-natural, and the florals won’t be damaged, and the coasters will have a slight rustic feel thanks to the wood. Create any floral combos that you like and enjoy!
