INSTRUCTIONS

1. For this project, I used a 3x3 coaster set from our local craft store; however, any cork or wood or another porous surface would work well.

2. These coasters came rough cut, and that didn't quite work for this project. Thank goodness for sandpaper scraps! I started with a #60 and worked up to #120, transforming these coasters from rough and shabby to a nice smooth surface.

3. Using the Frixion pen lightly draw, or trace the designs onto the coasters to make sure the finished product lines up well!

4. Refer to the pattern to help keep your colors straight. I found it best to focus on one color and paint each tile with that one color.

5. When you are finished, use a hairdryer on the "hot" setting and wave it over the pen marks until they disappear! Varnish is optional.
