Food and drink is a big part of Christmas; you know you’re going to spend many happy hours at the dining room table, so why not add a bit of festive cheer to your table decorations with some fun festive coasters.

There’s loads you could do with this one; we considered photos of the family, cracker style jokes and forfits, but eventually Diginate in-house designer Ben came up with some coasters to encourage a bit of a festive sing song!

First off you need some blank coasters. I used some card coasters from homecrafts.co.uk. Here are the blank coasters:

Next up, Ben put together 8 coaster designs based on popular Christmas songs and carols. We decided to make them extra special with some spot gloss snowflakes. Here’s the artwork; the gloss layer is shown in turquoise.

If you’d like to create your own artwork for 9.2cm square coasters here’s a template.

Next to print our stickers for the coasters. We need Contour Cut Vinyl Stickers with Spot Gloss Varnish. Here’s the finished sticker sheets:

Now it’s a case of applying the stickers to the coasters, taking care to keep the outer border even.

Job done – don’t they look great!?
