Cut each cork into three equal parts using a serrated knife. You will need 19 pieces per coaster. Let the corks dry and cool completely.
Start with one cork, place hot glue on the side, and attach another piece of cork. Do this until you have a row of five.
Keep gluing. On either side of the row of five, glue a row of four corks. Then on either side, glue a row of three. Let cool.
Decide which side you would like to be the top of your coaster. Put the bottom on your work surface facing up. Glue the felt to the bottom of the coaster.
Let cool and trim the excess around the edge with scissors. For the smaller areas, remove felt with craft knife.
Hot glue the trim around the edge and then cut with scissors. Glue the end in place. Let cool before using.
