These Mini Pallet Coasters are as fun to make as they are to use!
1. Take 17 popsticks and use scissors to trim the rounded ends off so that each measures 10.5cm. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
2. Lay 2 popsticks flat, making sure they are 1 popstick length apart. Glue a 3rd popstick on the thin edge across the ends of the flat popsticks as shown above. Adult supervision is recommended when using a glue gun.
3. Attach another popstick in the same way as the 3rd, but at the opposite ends. Glue another popstick in the middle as shown.
4. Flip the structure over and begin to glue another 5 popsticks flat on top, leaving a small gap between each. Glue the middle one first and then add 2 on either side.
5. Repeat step 4 by flipping the structure back over and gluing down another 5 popsticks to complete the mini pallet.
6. You can leave your mini pallet coaster natural or give it a bright finish by painting it in Dad’s favourite sporting team colours!
