HOW TO MAKE COASTERS
Paint the terracotta saucers with outdoor paint on both the top and the bottom. This may require several coats. Allow to dry completely in between coats. Painting on all sides gives a more finished appearance to your final product.
Once your paint has dried, you will want to add your paper to the center of the coaster. I used maps cut in a circle shape. Use decoupage to adhere them to the bottom of your saucers.
TIP: Add decoupage to the back of your circles before adding them to the coaster and allow to dry. This will minimize bubbles when you add to the coasters.
