Crafting with Markers - Dapper Flamingo Cocktail Coast

Hey guys! This is project two in my "Crafting with Markers" series!  It's no secret that my favorite hour of the day is Happy Hour! So I here is an easy DIY tutorial on how to make these dapper flamingo coasters. Feel free to use the flamingo image I made below as a template for this project.

Supplies:

  • Posca markers or ceramic markers
  • Flamingo template (download here)
  • Black ceramic coasters (I got these from Michaels for under $4)
  • Scissors
  • Varathane's Spar Urethane clear coat waterproof sealer

1. Cut out flamingo template

2. Use Posca markers to outline the flamingo

3. Fill in the flamingo and add a legs and a cocktail glass! I also added some fun retro patterns to the background

4. Allow marker ink to dry for an hour then spray on a thin layer of the sealer. Allow the sealer to dry for a full 24 hours before using. 

What's a dapper Flamingo without a bow tie?! 

OMG my brother just told me a random fact about flamingos...apparently they're pretty stinky! LOL! Thanks Xavier...I still love them them though! 

Made with love,
