Today’s five minute project is all about spreading the love this Valentine’s season! I made these adorable Scrabble tile inspired DIY coasters for our living room, and I think they are the perfect Valentine’s gift idea or even a fantastic wedding or anniversary gift idea!

- Craft Wood Squares
- Wood Stain (I used a Dark Walnut Minwax Stain Marker)
- Satin Varnish
- Black Permanent Adhesive Vinyl (or black letter stickers & number stickers)
- Cricut cutting machine (optional)
- Adhesive felt
It only took me a minute or two to type in the four letters and four numbers on my Cricut and hit the cut button. And since the sealer I used dries very quickly, by the time the letters were cut, the coasters were dry and ready.
If you don’t own a Cricut, or other electronic cutting machine, you could easily purchase black letter and number stickers at a craft store. The squares are 4.5 inches across, so I made my letters 3.5 inches tall, and my numbers 1.5 inches. If you decide to use stickers or an non-outdoor vinyl, it would probably be best to seal the coasters after adding the letters, rather than before, like I did.
I added some adhesive felt to the back of each coaster to keep them from scratching any surfaces, and that’s it!
In just about five minutes {and while the kids were still eating their first bowls of cereal} I created a set of Scrabble tile inspired coasters that look so great on my coffee table that I might just leave them out year round!
