I know Autumn started more than a month ago but I can’t avoid posting this DIY. I’m been meaning to do this and putting it off for so long. I love having a hot cup of tea by my side but that also mean cup stains on the table. For the sake of my tables, I wanted to do cute Autumnal coasters to use around this time. I know it’s already November and in 21 days I need to change it for the Christmas decor, but Winter officially starts on the 21st of December so I still have time. I love doing DIYs and this one is a good example of how much work they take. I spend an entire day just taking the photos don’t get me started on tests, pdf versions and drawing.

With the help of a marker trace the shape onto the cork. It doesn’t matter if you mess up a bit you are going to paint on top anyway. Step 2. Once you have all the shapes draw start cutting them out with the x-ato knife. Try to keep the blade sharp or else you won’t get a clean cut and the cork will start to fall apart. Step 3. Now cut out the small shapes inside. Place them in the centre – or what looks to you the centre – and outline it with the marker. Step 4. Start by painting the coaster contouring the shape. Use a size 2 or 3 brush to help in the little corners and turns then paint the rest...
