Dollar Tree Drink Coasters

I found these small wooden pallets at Dollar Tree and decided to make used grimy drink coasters with them.

Supplies

Dollar Tree Wooden Pallets

Apple Barrel Craft Acrylic paints

Small flat chip brush

Step 1:

WEATHERING

When I purchased these small pallets, they were spotless and nice. I thought well that is not going to work for me?! I need to dirty these up a bit. I started with a wash of water and a small amount of brown mixed into the water. I then added some darker tones to make the pallets appear old and used.

PAINTING

From here I added a different color on each pallet for each member of my family.

CLOSING

This was a simple and quick little project to add fun into the mix and also have a neat little practical item around that house. I hope you enjoyed this project.
