Directions:
1. Paint the wood pieces black – front and back – two coats.
2. Glue on gems and allow to dry.
3. Grout the coasters. Be sure to follow the directions on your grout. All products are different. You should find the mixing proportions and application directions, as well as clean up directions on the container.
4. Once you have grouted the pieces and have let them dry, be sure to buff them with a soft cloth, so the gems shine!
5. You can seal the grout, to prevent stains. You can also add little rubber feet or bumpers on the bottom, to protect your furniture.
That’s it! Thanks for stopping by!
Remember: Life’s too short not to shimmer, so grab your glue gun and your glitter!™ Stay safe!
