- Sand paper
- White spray primer

- Sharp scissors
- Mod Podge Hard Surface
Instructions:
-
Trace a CD onto your fabric. Repeat for as many different fabrics you want to use.
-
Lightly sand off the side of the CD that has a design or writing on it. You don't have to sand everything off, just take the gloss coat off.
-
Spray 2 coats of primer onto the CDs, allowing for proper dry time in between coats.
-
Cut the circles out of the fabric, cutting them a little smaller than the traced circle to allow for some "border" around your coasters.
-
For each coaster, cut a 3-inch circle from the felt.
-
When primer is dry, hot glue the felt circles to the bottom of the Cds.
-
To the top of the CD add a coat of Mod Podge. Gently press the fabric circle onto the coated CD and press out any wrinkles or creases. Allow to dry for 20 minutes before continuing.
-
Apply two coats of Mod Podge to the top of the CD over the fabric, allow 2 hours dry time in between coats.
