I have teamed with more than 30 AMAZING bloggers to tackle the
challenge of creating a patriotic project or recipe without using the
traditional red, white and blue color scheme! How fun is that?!
Starting last week and running through July 4th, more than 30 projects will
be shared on some of the most awesome blogs around. I can’t wait to see all of
the inspirational projects and hope you will find some inspiration as well.
I must admit, it was a bit of a challenge to come up with a
patriotic project without using the color red to represent Canada.
But I remembered having seen these gorgeous faux wood coasters at the
Chapters Indigo home‘s website and thought I’d make my own version.
This was a great project to do, not only because it’s cute and inexpensive, but
my entire family helped me with it – from cutting, to sanding, to drawing, to staging.
Just slice the wood, draw or transfer the desired design, burn it with
the pen and to finish it off, seal it with lacquer or stain them if you wish.
Oh Canada!
Now, before you head out, be sure to check out the AMAZING projects
that were shared last week AND be sure to enter for your chance to win a

Too cute! I have some coasters that I “made” from remnants at a local wood shop. I say “made” because I didn’t really do anything to them other than put them under my glass. 🙂

Wow your photography & staging are simply stunning. Such a lovely craft, you’ve totally got my wheels spinning now!!
Also, I’m so glad we had a Canadian in the group! I’m a ‘wanna be’ Canadian from one of the neighboring states below (Wisconsin).
Off to go pin!!

I would also like to know about some rights in Canada or other regions. Maybe someone knows a resource where you can find out?

I used to have a stand like this under my ashtray. Well, not exactly like this, but similar, but also made of wood. Now I quit smoking cigarettes. I switched to vape pens, the website https://thirdshroom.com/product-category/vape-pens/ has a wide selection of different devices for vaping. Plus, there is a wide selection of different flavors, so if I get tired of something, I can easily choose another flavor.
