Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Gather your wood slices and inspect for rough edges or splinters.
2. Using 120 grit sandpaper, sand the top and edges of each wood slice to smooth rough spots.
3. Follow with 220 grit sandpaper for a finer finish.
4. Wipe off any dust with a dry cloth.
5. In a well-ventilated area, lay down newspaper or protective sheet.
6. Spray an even coat of clear acrylic sealer or polyurethane on both sides of each wood slice. Allow to dry as per product instructions.
7. Apply a second coat for durability and let dry completely.
8. Cut felt pads or cork sheets to size and glue them to the bottom of each wood slice to protect surfaces from scratches.
9. Let the glue dry fully before using your coasters.
10. Optionally, personalize by lightly marking or painting initials before sealing.
