I’ve always loved little projects that combine creativity with faith, and DIY Bible verse coasters quickly became one of my favorites. They’re simple to make but carry so much meaning. I started this craft when I wanted something functional yet inspirational for our coffee table. Using plain wooden or cork coasters, I decoupage my favorite short Bible verses onto each one, sealing them with a clear coat for durability.
What I love most is how these coasters spark conversations. Every time a guest picks one up, they often comment on the verse, and it naturally leads to sharing stories or reflections. It’s a small way to bring Scripture into daily life without being overwhelming. You can personalize each coaster with different verses that inspire gratitude, joy, or faith. I’ve also found they make wonderful gifts for friends, family, or church members — practical, beautiful, and deeply meaningful all at once.

I’ve found that making these is satisfying — the texture, the smell of the wood, the meaning behind each verse — it all combines to create a tiny piece of inspiration you can touch and see every day.

I’ve found that combining art and Scripture like this brings a quiet, reflective energy to our home. It’s like having a small gallery of faith on the table.
Stamped Verse Coasters
Alphabet stamps are a fun way to add verses without worrying about handwriting. I press the letters onto cork or wooden coasters, sometimes combining with small symbols like hearts or crosses.

My kids enjoy helping with the stamping, and seeing their faces light up when a verse appears is priceless. These coasters become conversation starters and gentle reminders of God’s Word during our daily routines.
Cross Symbol Coasters
For a minimalist approach, I sometimes paint a small cross in the center and write one short word like “Faith” or “Hope.” It’s simple but really speaks to the heart. I enjoy having these on our coffee table as a subtle spiritual reminder. Guests often notice them and comment, which feels like a quiet way to share faith without words.

Using resin transforms a simple craft into a keepsake, and it’s satisfying to know that the Word is protected and displayed in such a lasting way.

I’ve found that this makes the craft feel festive and allows the Word to be part of our seasonal celebrations. Kids often enjoy helping, which makes it extra meaningful and memorable.
