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.​
