DIY Wood Slice Coasters
One of fall’s pleasures is cozy time spent with a beverage, either by the fire, on the porch or on the sofa. Now that it’s officially fall, I’ve begun to decorate and craft for the season. DIY Wood Slice Coasters add a decorative accent to our family room coffee table and end tables and they protect the wood from water damage.
I first used these wood slices on a winter wreath and now the same wood slices have been transformed into fall coasters.
I originally used these wood slices in my classroom for a science lesson. This was years before crafting with wood slices became "the thing."
The hardest part of this project was finding images that I wanted to use. I tested colored images and black and white ones and had the best results using color. These images were printed on wax paper. Yes, wax paper!
A credit card transfers the ink from the wax paper to the wood.
Instead of using this as a coaster, drill a hole in the top, add twine, and tie it to a gift bag.
