need to make your own:

• Slices of Birch Wood (you can cut your own or buy them pre-sliced)
• Polyurethane Spray
• Metallic Acrylic Paint
• Paper Towels
• Stir Stick

First you will want to mix up your paint. Mix a ratio of equal parts of paint and water. You want the paint to be diluted when you use it.

Once you have everything mixed, dip your folded up paper towels into the water. You’ll be using them as your “paintbrush” for this project.

Begin painting the tops of your birch wood slices. I chose to left the sides of mine un-painted, but you could definitely paint the edges as well if you wanted.

The paint will not completely coat the wood, and that’s what you want! You should still be able to see the wood grain easily through the paint.

Once done the “painting” process, allow the wood slices to dry completely. Then spray them with a light coat of polyurethane spray.

Allow to dry completely before use.

I love how the metallic paint adds a tiny bit of color and a touch of sparkle to the coasters, while still showing how gorgeous the wood grain is through the paint.
