Handmade Mother’s Day coaster with Paint Markers

Celebrate Mother’s Day with a handmade gift that’s as thoughtful as it is beautiful. In this tutorial, Milly shows how to transform a simple ceramic coaster into a personalised keepsake using Paint Markers.

The paint markers make it easy to create bold, opaque colour on ceramic, allowing you to layer details, experiment with shapes, and add your own personal touches. In this video, Milly guides you step-by-step through the decorating process, sharing simple techniques to help you build your design and add those finishing touches that make a piece feel truly special. It’s a relaxing project that doesn’t require lots of materials, making it perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a quick but meaningful craft.

A handmade coaster is a lovely way to show appreciation this Mother’s Day. Follow along with Milly’s tutorial, experiment with colours and patterns, and create a one-of-a-kind gift that Mum can enjoy every time she sits down for a cup of tea.
