Children's DIY Artwork Coasters TutorialDIRECTIONS:

Have your child draw a picture that will fit the size of your item.  Alternatively you can have the child draw directly onto the surface with pencil, which is what I did for the cork coasters, or you can scan in a larger drawing, resize and print to ensure a perfect fit.
