DIY Valentine’s Day Coaster Directions: 5 Simple Steps
Step 1: Paint the Wood Round and Hearts
Start by painting the wood round black and the laser-cut hearts red. Use multi-surface paint for durability, and be sure to paint the edges for a polished look.
I scoured my craft room to come up with this project. I knew I had hearts leftover from last years project and wanted to use some of them up.
Let everything dry completely, applying a second coat if necessary.
Step 2: Plan the Heart Design
Arrange the red hearts on the black-painted wood round to find the perfect layout. Experiment with placements until you are happy with the design.
Step 3: Attach the Hearts
Now this DIY Valentine’s Day coaster is starting to take shape!
Use glue to secure each heart to the wood round. Apply a thin, even layer of glue to the back of each heart. Press firmly to ensure they stick and let them dry completely.
Step 4: Add the Cork Backing
Cut a piece of cork slightly larger than the wood round. To ensure long-lasting durability, reinforce the cork’s adhesive backing with a bead of glue along the edges
Remove the adhesive backing, position the wood round on the sticky side, and press down firmly.
Step 5: Trim and Finish
Trim the excess cork with a craft knife, and use a file or emery board to smooth any rough edges. Your DIY Valentine’s Day coaster is complete and ready to use or display!
With durable multi-surface paints, there’s no need for additional sealing, making this a quick and easy DIY project.
Whether you use it as a coaster or wall decor, this craft is a pretty way to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
*To hang them from a wall, use Command strips for a no-damage way to display!
