Cut squares from 1" x 8" pine (approx. 7 1/2" sq.)
Coaster Style
Unique coasters replicating Scrabble tiles are so easy to make. Choose words or monograms to reflect your style.
Here’s How
• Cut 4” squares from 6” fence boards.
• Sand the tiles and lightly round the edges. Paint the front and 4 sides in a desired colour (shown: In the Black UP77-3). Let dry.
• Mark vertical and horizontal centres on 3” stencils and painted squares.
• Place the stencils on the tiles matching centre marks. Tape in place. Use a dry brush technique to stencil.
• Freehand the small numbers in place.
• Sand the edges with 120 grit sanding sponge to expose the wood.
• Apply the paste wax over the entire surface of each tile to make the coasters water-repellent. Let dry and buff.
