AstroCrafts: How To Create Constellation Coasters
TEXT AND PHOTOS BY KATHLEEN HORNER, BASED ON A CONCEPT BY 'ALMOST MAKES PERFECT'
For our AstroCrafts project we will create constellation coasters. I made some really cool coasters out of foam core board. You can also use ceramic tiles which is probably the best as far as durability.
You can hang them individually in a grouping or place them on a ribbon runner. First, I will share how I created these beautiful coasters with foam core board and then provide a tutorial link on making them from ceramic tiles.
