Personalized picture coasters make a very popular gift or party favor, partly because they look great but mostly, in my opinion, because they're so functional. That might sound strange - Who wants a "functional" gift? But think about it... Do you really want another framed photo to find a spot for in your home?
Photo coasters are a delightful way to display photos. A new baby or grandbaby, wedding photos, kids, friends, or any other photos someone might want to share with guests. It's a practical, functional gift that's not boring!
Picture coasters can be made several different ways, ranging from very simple to quite elaborate and time-consuming. The easiest, but not necessarily the prettiest, are to have a photo developing company create coasters from your photographs.
You can create beautiful, stone or wood photo coasters on your own by decoupaging or using other photo transfer techniques.
My favorite personalized photo coasters are glass or acrylic coasters made to add your own photos. The result is even more professional-looking than the professionally printed coasters and they're just beautiful. Try one set with color photos and another with only black and white.
