Outcome Of Project

All in all i loved doing this project. When choosing my project i wanted to do something i could enjoy and it happened. I created things that i didn't even know i was capable of making. It was a challenge at times but this project was made to push you. This project also made me go out of my comfort zone by going in front of my whole Bible class and presenting my DIYs. I feel proud of myself of what I've accomplished as well.

MAP DIY COASTERS

So today i realized that i had some extra cork remaining from my last DIY project so i decided i'd look for a project with cork so that i could use it all up. I found this project on Pinterest. If you are a regular coffee, tea, steamer drinker this project is perfect for you :)

Things you will need:

-Cork (got mine from Dollarama for around $2.00.)
-Mod Podge
-Any sort of Map
-X-acto Knife
-Scissors
-Sponge/Foam

I found this project was very quick and easy to make. If you are planning to have a cup of coffee with a friend these coasters look wonderful and work very well.

So first i traced a circle on the piece of cork and then took out my X-acto knife and cut around it. Then i took my map and traced a circle and cut it out with the Scissors. I then took my Mod Podge (its a gloss/glue) and spread it with a sponge on the cut out cork circle. I then placed my map piece on top of it and put a gloss of Mod Podge over top of it as well to give it more of a shine.

 Things i could of done better:

When cutting the cork i wish i would of been a little slower and took my time cutting it with the knife because the cork made some rough edges. I also wish that i could put glass over top of the coasters but i don't have any source of how to cut glass..Other than that i am pleased with how they turned out.

My passion project so far has been really fun. I really enjoy making things and doing hands on type of work. It has shown me a different type of art that i wasn't use to doing before. I highly suggest you try out this DIY! Message me if you have any questions.

Mentor

So In the process of doing this project I selected a mentor. My mentor for my passion project is my mom because she has helped me throughout making different crafts/DIYs for my project. I chose her because she pushes me to challenge myself. She also helps me work on and finish different projects I've done.
