Although the official start of spring is still a few weeks away, this tutorial provides the perfect way to get a head start on the season. The tutorial for making painted coasters is not only easy to follow, but it is also budget-friendly. To begin, users will need several [plain cork coasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polka-coffee-table), a thin paint brush and [white and yellow acrylic paint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customdesigned-painting-kit). With the paintbrush, users can directly add yellow and white spots that mimic the appearance of delicate daisies. Because the coasters are intended to look a bit offbeat, the project is very forgiving. The simple DIY coasters fall in line with the shift towards [make-it-yourself projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craft-starter-kit) and the desire for greater personalization. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Coasters:** The trend of DIY projects presents opportunities for the creation of innovative and budget-friendly products. - **Personalization:** The growing trend of wanting personalized items presents disruptive innovation opportunities for businesses to offer more diverse and unique products. - **Crafting for Seasonal Trends:** Following seasonal trends and offering DIY projects related to them presents opportunities to capture consumer attention and drive sales. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Crafts and DIY Industry:** The crafts and DIY industry can take advantage of the popularity of DIY projects by offering more options and making them more accessible for consumers. - **Home Decor Industry:** The home decor industry can create more opportunities within the DIY market by offering personalized and seasonal products such as the DIY painted coasters mentioned in the article. - **Art Supply Industry:** The art supply industry can benefit from the popularity of DIY projects by making products and materials more accessible and budget-friendly for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Astrological Drinkware Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zodiac-constellation-coasters.md) - [Aquatic Beverage Coasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crab-inspired-coasters.md) - [Barbie-Inspired Coaster Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbieinspired-coaster-set.md) - [Leftover Househouse Paint Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-drop.md) - [Customizable Summer Home Décor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shutterfly-outdoor-collection.md) - [Crystal Floral Arrangement Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-crystal-floral-kits.md) - [Turntable-Inspired Coaster Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needledrop-coaster-set.md) - [Cork Coaster-Integrated Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polka-coffee-table.md) - [Ocean-Inspired Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-coralshaped-vase.md)
