Old coasters in desperate need of some paint

Step 1

Sand the old coasters using sandpaper and clean them to make the dust and grease free.

Step 2

Apply a layer of white Indoor & Outdoor paint.

Step 3

You can choose to paint every coaster a different color or to make them all the same.

I choose to make them all different. Let them dry for 30 minutes.

Step 4

You can mix the bright colors with white to create different tones.

Step 5

Draw the outlines of the patterns you want to use on your coaster.

I choose the fruits kiwi, orange, lemon and Star fruit as my designs.

Step 6

I used a darker color to paint the patterns.

Step 7

Let it dry for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Enjoy your newly painted, fruit like coasters!
