DIY Lily Planner Coasters!

What girl doesn't love a Lily Pulitzer planner?! They are only the must have planner on every campus! Here is an adorable craft for you to recycle those used planner pages!


What you need!

- Lily Planner Pages
- Modge Podge 
- Tiles, Coaster Size
- Paint Brush


Directions

1. Pick out your planner pages and cut them to fit the size tiles you bought! Normally 4 by 4 does the trick!
2. Put modge podge all over the front of the tile with a paint brush.
3. Place the planner page on.
4. Let dry for a few minutes, then modge podge the top of planner page.
5. Let dry over night.

If your feeling extra crafy you can paint the edges of the tile different colors for an extra pop!

Cute and easy! Now your ready for a cool drink!

All About Us!

A Few Things About Debbie  Bianco- Higgins....



I'm a designer sun glass kind of girl. Most days you will find me with my hair in a clip and gym clothes. Taking care of my 2 boys keeps me moving as they are the light of my life. I love to read about fashion and watch mindless TV shows when I can. There are so many things about me, it would be impossible to list them all, but here are just a few "me" things!

1. I love to read People Style Watch
2. I love my Ipad ( Thanks Hubby!)
3.  I think Facebook should be called Bragbook!
4. I think it would be fun to be a " Real Housewive" for one season!

All this is possible with the support of my handsome hubby!
