If you’re hosting a Super Bowl party, score a touchdown in the creativity department with these festive drink coasters made of artificial turf. They’re painted with yard-line numbers and markings to get everyone in the spirit, and they’re so easy to make.
What you’ll need:
Artificial turf
Scissors
White puffy paint
1. Cut artificial turf into 4-inch-square pieces. You can buy pieces of artificial turf at hardware stores like Home Depot. In fact, they frequently have samples already cut to coaster size.
2. Paint one thick line down the middle with white puffy paint, and then three short lines on either side of the middle line. Puffy paint comes in a squeeze bottle, so it’s very easy to handle. It’s sold in craft stores next to the T-shirts because it’s typically used for fabric painting.
3. Paint a number divisible by 10 (e.g., 30, 40 or 50) on the coaster, with the first digit on the left side of the middle line and the zero on the right side. Give each coaster a different number. Puffy paint is thick, so let it dry before using the coasters.
