Snowflake Coasters
Intro: Snowflake Coasters
STEP 1: Designing
STEP 2: Adjust
STEP 3: Cut It Out
STEP 4: Finished!
Stop cutting out snowflakes when you feel you have enough. You don't have to use the whole sheet of plywood, 288 coasters might be a bit excessive. We can make new ones for the spring. I promise.
Sand the top surfaces lightly, file or sand any fuzzy bits from the cutting and spray it with a clear coat. Shellac is nice and dries fast. Betcha didn't know it's made from a resin excreted by a bug in Thailand.
You're done!
Go get a cold warm drink and set your brand new coaster under it....
Other ideas:
Pretend you're a ninja and chuck them at people. No wait, don't do that, you might hurt your snowflake.
Spray paint them silver and gold, drill a little hole in each one and tie a piece of fishing line to them- Holiday Ornaments!
Write your name and contact info on them and use them as awkward yet unforgettable business cards,
The possibilities are really endless!

I have already downloaded the evilmadscientist app and will be making "new-school" snowflakes without all that crazy mess and paper cuts. (Like who can afford bandaids over the holidays...)
But really, CNC machine??? - Now you're just bragging... (like I'm going to cut all those out with a hand saw... lol) - You may have to send me some when your done playing ninja and have cut out all 288 from the sheet.
Great Job! and a very fitting entry for the Advent Calendar.
