This would also make a great Christmas gift!
Just remember that they are on the pricey side. They range from anywhere between $25-$50 for a set of 4. That's $6.25-$12.50 per coaster. I got mine for $4.45/each in an assortment of colors.
Materials:
I ended up choosing the sponge look because I liked how the feathered edge glittered in the light.
For Paintbrush: just paint the edges (If you get some on the face of the rock, just use your nail or a blade to scrape it off!)
For Sponge: sponge the edges with moderate pressure so that the sponge molds around the rock and leaves a feathered edge (You will still need the paintbrush to get into the small cracks on the side.)
Allow the edges to dry. I used thread spools to elevate my stones.
Apply stick-on felt pads (if desired). Use 4 per stone to keep them from rocking under your drink glasses!
All done! So lovely!
