Start this fun DIY by removing the metal clasp on your clothespins. You will use approximately 5 clothes pins (10 wooden pieces) for each coaster.

Using either a hot glue gun or E6000 Adhesive slowly adhere the separated clothespin pieces together in a circular shape.

Once the glue has dried, paint the edges of the clothespins in a fun bold color! I painted just the tips in a mint green color and a lime green colored paint.

Next, glue a circular piece of felt to the bottom of your coaster to help prevent scratches to your table.
