Top Tip
If glue is being absorbed into the cork, apply more thickly. To help draw a circle, use a plate or any circular item to draw around. If smaller, just add the cms required to the circle you have drawn to get diameter measurement.
How to Make
- Brush glue all over coaster. Apply plenty as cork will absorb it.
- Starting from outer edge, coil twine around the coaster working it in.
- Ensure it sticks down well as you move around and that it touches the previous row (to avoid gapping,) as you start a new one.
- Give a gentle press down when finished coiling to ensure all rows stick down well. Repeat 2 & 3 for the remaining coasters.
- Cut a circle in corrugated card 21cms in diameter, this will become your base.
- Using this as template draw around and cut 2 circles in felt.
- Stick down the felt on either side of the card circle, one at a time, allowing drying before putting on other side.
- Start by placing a twined coaster centrally on your circle base, then the others around.
- Make sure they are all touching and evenly placed. Once you’re happy with your layout, stick down (with glue) one by one.
