I am sorry that it has taken me so long to do this post. I have finally done the cork on the bottom of my coasters! Here is how I did it!
What you need:
Sheets of very thin cork, or a roll like I used.
Glue
A hobby knife
A cutting board
First take your cork and lay it flat. Cut a piece with scissors to fit all the coasters easily.
Spread glue on each coaster. I used the tube to spread it, but if you use woodglue or glue that is more runny, you can use a paintbrush to spread it. I used No-more-nails.
Make sure you spread the glue evenly and to the ends of the coaster to ensure that the cork doesn't lift anywhere!
I stuck all the coasters to the one big piece of cork first. Leave it to dry completely.
Using your hobby knife, cut each coaster out roughly so you have them all individually.
Carefully start to cut the excess cork of the side as shown in the picture above.
Go all around the coaster. The cork cuts very easily. Make sure that it is in line with your coaster sides.
This is what it should look like when you are finished with a side.
This is the back of the coaster when all the sides are done!
Viola! Coasters are now ready to use and won't scratch surfaces!
