    I've been trying to search for specific instructions on how to make beer coasters from craftbeer labels.
    Specifically the labels from cans like Treehouse or Trillium. I've seen some instructions on using mod podge but just wanted to see how others are going about peeling and cutting the actual label to fit on the 4x4 tile.
    Cheers!

    One thing you might want to try is to contact the brewery and see if they'll send you some labels.
    BTW, Tree House will be tough - AFAIK they don't bottle. They have cans and growlers at their facility.
    Some breweries are easier than others to get the labels off - they may use different paper or different glue or something.

    I used to make coasters and used Mod podge and then epoxy them. It took some practice with the epoxy but once I got the hang of it they looked really nice and hold up well. I even sold some of them.
    JrGtr is correct the easiest way I found to get labels in tact was to mail the brewery and ask, send with a SASE. The majority of them returned a bunch to me. Try sending during the time of year they have seasonals you like, I was able to get some pretty nice ones.

    Treehouse sells old labels now in the gift shop area if you know anyone that goes, never saw anything besides old curiosities and main lineup stuff though
