Palette-It Euro Mini Wooden Pallet Coasters (Pack of 5) Drink Coasters Set of 5

Product Information

Thanks to self-quarantining, the kids have been exploring their creative side more often than usual… The three square pieces are the base of the pallet and the 5 rectangular pieces are the top. It’s up to you how you glue one to the other, but space them out evenly to produce a 4″ x 4″ coaster. Cut the dowels into 4″ chunks. Note that you won’t get 9 pieces out of a 36″ long dowel, since the saw itself shears away some wood. Our table saw eats off 1/8″ on every cut. You’ll get eight (8) 4″ pieces with a small leftover piece.

Optional: You can stain each coaster if you want an aged look, but stain after gluing since the glue is meant to work on raw wood. But for a girl’s night with enjoying a glass of wine, or a cup of coffee while you read a book on the porch, they will be fine. Supplies My oldest insists she doesn’t have a creative bone in her body. I, however, love to disagree with her stand and find enough ways to prove to her this is not the case. Simply grab your hot glue gun and mini wooden clothespins, hot glue a clothespin on each tile, and once dry, hang each tile on the wall.It should go without saying that these mini popsicle pallet coasters aren’t going to support tons of weight, like a huge beer stein 😉 Hang a small photo on each clothespin and there, you’ve created a mini photo gallery that you can change out every few days.

Once a pallet is somewhat stable, set it aside and lay a weight on top and allow it to dry overnight. For each coaster, you’ll need three (3) pieces of the square dowel and five (5) pieces of the rectangular dowel, all in 4″ lengths.

Our recent craft evening was one such instance. I challenged all three kids to a Supermarket Stakeout styled craft project. Tip: Only use a small dab of wood glue, otherwise, it squeezes out and leaves a stain on the joints, and takes longer to dry. If you're using wood glue, follow this step and skip the next. If you're using a glue gun, skip this step and follow the next.

Dottie chose to paint each coaster a different color. And I love her choice of colors-bold, vibrant, and popping with personality! Once painted, set aside to dry.
