How to make coasters

You will need:

• Bamboo sheet
• Plywood sheet
• Mod podge
• Sand paper and scissors (or cutter)

Bamboo Coaster Set Instructions

Start by measuring the length and width of your placemat.  A perfect rectangle should yield 8 squares for coaster set.

You will need a plywood sheet of the same size as the placemat.

Once you are done with cutting all the squares from bamboo and plywood sheets.

Sand the sides of the plywood to make the corners smooth.  You can also stain the plywood sheet.

Now use a generous amount of mod podge to decoupage the bamboo and plywood sheets together.

You can also use wood glue for this purpose.

Let it dry.
