I’m excited to share my latest project: custom wooden coasters, designed to add a personal touch to any space! These coasters are perfect for creating unique gifts or stylish home decor. From family names to inspirational quotes, you can customize each design to fit your style and needs. But that’s not all! The same stunning designs can also be applied to stone coasters for a more elegant and timeless look. I’ll be uploading even more bundles in the coming weeks, so make sure to follow me on XCS to stay updated and get inspired!
