DIY coasters made of cork or wood

If it should be more natural and rustic, wood and cork are unsurpassed. With their optical warmth and unmistakable structure, both materials make an excellent coaster. For example, you can get thin cork sheets from the craft store and cut them out in the shape of a circle using a cutter. Then you can decorate them with a marker or some acrylic paint as you wish. Dots, stripes, little flowers or waves, everything that pleases is allowed.

There are cork sheets of different thicknesses that you can choose freely

Another craft idea is to work with whole wine corks. You can simply collect them or buy them from Amazon or Ebay. In principle, 8 pieces are enough to create a coaster like this one below in a matter of seconds. You can use a thin cork board as a base again, this time cut out in a square shape. The corks are then glued to it. You can lay them in one direction or twist them a bit as shown in the photo. This way the design looks much more original.
