Cut Out + Keep

Re Cycled Coasters

Recycle and refresh boring coasters

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/re-cycled-coasters • Posted by Jacqueline C.

I cut and pasted images from a magazine (Lodown - graphics/music mag) onto the coasters using extra strong glue. Smoothed all the edges down with a nail file so they 'blended' into the cork with no rough edges and then coated them with about 4 coats of matt varnish. I alternated the brush strokes on each coat of varnish to give a subtle effect - can't see it very well on the photos though!
