Hunger Games Coasters


“Don’t ask me who’s influenced me.  A lion is made up of the lambs he’s digested, and I’ve been reading all my life.”- Charles de Gallue

One of those influential book series being read by young and old alike is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.  The Hunger Games seems to be everywhere- from the books, movies, and merchandise everywhere.  Katniss Everdeen is the heroine in this story.  She is strong, loyal, and cares deeply about her family.  These Huger Games coasters are sure to please at any Book Club meeting or Hunger Game party you might be hosting.




Materials:
·         Craft Foam Sheets
·         Magazine with article(s) about the Hunger Games
·         A coaster (to use as a template.  I used one from a restaurant)
·         Scissors
·         Mod Podge
·         Pencil
·         Paint Brush

Directions:
1.       Trace coasters onto foam sheets.  Cut out foam, this will be the base for the coaster. 
2.       Cut out images and words to be used on the coasters.
3.       Cut out a background for the coasters.
4.       Make sure the background is the same size as the base of the coaster.  Mod Podge the background onto the coaster base.
5.       Mod Podge the design you want onto the coasters.  Use multiple layers of mod podge to cover the design.
6.       Make as many coasters as needed to create a set.


Fun coasters are always great conversation starters and useful.  These will show off your Hunger Game pride.
