Citrus Wooden Coasters

These easy wooden coasters are such a fun craft for the summertime! These citrus wooden coasters are a citrus spin off of our popular watermelon coasters.  These are the perfect DIY to add to your summer table while you are entertaining your family and friends. Adding a layer of Mod Podge makes these waterproof and perfect to use for both hot and cold beverages.

Supplies for Citrus Wooden Coasters:

You only need a few simple supplies to create these wooden coasters.  I purchased my wooden coasters from Amazon but you can typically find these in your local craft stores along with the rest of the supplies needed. 

• Wooden Coasters
• Acrylic paint (shades of yellow, green, orange)
• Pencil
• White paint pen
• Mod Podge
• paint brushes

How to make Citrus Wooden Coasters

1. Using a pencil, draw a circle about 1/4” from the outside of the coaster.
2. Paint the outside edge with a darker color and the inside with a slightly lighter color to match the citrus coaster of your choice.
3. Once the paint is dry, use a paint marker to outline the peel and wedges.
4. Mix the darker and lighter color with a little bit of white paint and dry brush it in to the wedges to
   create definition.
5. Allow to dry completely and then seal with a light layer of mod podge. 

These coasters really are super simple to make and they make a great gift for your friends as favors or all wrapped together as a housewarming gift.
