how to make it
1. Choose your favorite colorful paper, fabric, photo, or oilcloth, or download and print a design from here.
2. Adhere contact sheet to right side of paper, fabric, or photo. If using oilcloth, skip this step, as the oilcloth is already coated.
3. If using a cork sheet, cut out desired cork shape. Trace around cork shape onto wrong side of paper, fabric, photo, or oilcloth. Cut out shape.
4. Trace and cut shape from coordinating felt just outside the traced lines, so felt edges extend beyond cork. If desired, use decorative scissors or pinking shears.
5. Paint cork edges if desired. Let dry.
6. Using craft glue, affix felt to bottom of cork coaster. Glue fabric, paper, photo, or oilcloth to top. Let dry.
