Newspaper Coasters

What do you think of this lovely coaster? Isn't it vibrant with colors! This is my sister OliveOil's latest projects.




Start by cutting a newspaper page to two equal halves. Then divide each half into four strips of paper. You can also use magazine pages or anything similar you have. Now get busy coiling them. Of course you will need to use the glue.




Now you have your coils ready.




Start shaping each coil into the desired shape. You can make circles, triangles, squares, or whatever fits your design. Use the glue to fix each piece.



Here is how she made the circles.



After the glue is dry, start coloring your pieces with acrylic colors.




Now you can assemble the pieces and glue them together according to the design you have in mind.



One last and important step is to seal the coaster with a sealant.



Now you can start using them!


Enjoy!
