DIY CORK COASTERS
These coasters are practical and ridiculously easy to make . You can also paint the other side of these and do a different pattern to mix and match your coasters . Use as separate coasters , put them together to make a trivet or turn them into a matching game / puzzle for your children to play with .
WHAT YOU NEED ::
- cork sheet ( 50 mm thick )
- craft knife
- pencil
- ruler
- paint and paintbrush
- washi tape or painters tape
TIME ::
25 minutes including drying time
COST ::
Under $10 if you have to buy everything . I only had to buy the cork which was $2.50 .
1 - First measure your cork sheet into 4 squares . Mine are 8.5 cm x 8.5 cm . Then cut the squares up with a craft knife ( use a ruler to help you achieve straight edges ) .
2 - Cut up tape and place onto cork squares . Before you paint , make sure you smooth down the tape firmly so your paint doesn't bleed . Paint over the exposed cork . Repeat once the first coat has dried .
3 - Remove tape once paint has completely dried . D O N E !
