I had some scrap wood and felt crafty so I pulled these farmhouse inspired coasters off. The great thing about these- besides being easy- is that you can customize them to match your decor!
I used a scrap piece of 4×4 post (untreated) that I had and cut them into even squares using a table saw. You could skip this step and buy pre-made squares.
I used a hand sander and smoothed all the sides and rounded the edges slightly.
To stain the wood- I used a Minwax Ebony that I already had.
I used my Cricut to cut numbers 1-4 so I could stencil with the chalk paint I had. You could use a stencil if you don’t have access to a Cricut.
Then I just painted over the cut stencil and allowed it to dry completely and applied a sealer to the top. Personally I prefer matte so it’s not super shiny.
These are SUPER easy to make and I think I will be making some more sets to give as gifts!
If numbers aren’t your thing…you could do words, phrases and even images!
