What You'll Need:

  • marble tiles
  • cork
  • X-Acto knife
  • adhesive spray
  • paint pen
  • transfer paper
  • pencil
  • sealant

How to:

1. Separate 4-inch hexagon tiles (we got ours from MarbleOnline.com) from mesh backing and trace on cork board.

2. Using an X-Acto knife, cut cork and glue to the back of the tile with adhesive spray. Let dry.

3. If you have killer handwriting, freehand guests' names on the front of the tile using a paint pen. Or cheat like us: Choose a fun typeface and print guests' names on paper. Using transfer paper, trace names on tiles with a pencil and then retrace with a paint pen.

4. Flip coasters over and add guests' table assignment to the cork (this makes for a fun "game" at the escort card table.

5. Finally, spray the tops of the tiles with a sealant, so the condensation from a cold glass doesn't make the paint run.
