Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Gather wood slices, ensuring they are dry and free of bark or loose pieces.

2. Sand both sides of each wood slice with medium grit sandpaper to smooth rough areas, then finish with fine grit for a polished surface.

3. (Optional) Apply wood stain or paint to decorate the coasters; allow to dry completely.

4. Using a paintbrush, apply a clear wood sealant or polyurethane evenly on both sides of each coaster to protect against moisture and stains. Let dry according to the product instructions.

5. Attach felt pads or cork stickers to the bottom of each coaster to prevent scratching surfaces.

6. Allow all components to dry and cure fully before use.
