How to make colorful coasters that will impress your friends
Difficulty (1-5): 1 Time: 2 hrs Cost: $20-$35
Materials:
For this project, I got the inspiration from this image I found on Pinterest. The image is from Ampers and Design Studio.
Isn’t so happy and cute? I decided to use a similar motive for my coasters. Here is what I did.
Instructions
1) Draw your designs with a pencil. Use blue scotch tape for straight lines.
2) Because the cork is uneven, is easy to get lines that bleed. To get straight lines, you need to do a paint stroke starting in the blue tape and moving into the cork. 3) Be creative! I played a couple of podcasts while painting and I like the results.Here are more photos of the coasters:

Thanks, Karen. I think they make your table a lot happier. Agree.
