Скачать или смотреть How to Make Farmhouse Coasters | Gift Idea with Crackle Finish

In this craft, I’m making a simple farmhouse coaster set using plain wood coasters (4x4 from Michaels), soft layered paint, stenciled words, and a gorgeous fine-line crackle finish that looks like vintage porcelain crazing.

What we’re making:
A coordinated set of coasters with the words Bless, Gather, Farmhouse, and Family—each one slightly different so they feel perfectly rustic and handmade.

How it’s done (quick overview):

Base coat: DecoArt Buttermilk
Soft background: a light “wash” of Burlap + Lush Green (painted with the grain)
Words stenciled in Traditional Raw Umber (I angle longer words to fit the coaster size)
Finish: Pentart 2-step Fine Line Crackle (component 1, dry, then component 2)
To bring the crackle to life: Dark wax rubbed into the cracks for that aged, ceramic look

I also share tips for preventing stencil bleed (offload, offload, offload!), how to fix little boo-boos, and an idea for making these double-sided with a coordinating napkin or paper on the back.

These would make a sweet housewarming gift, hostess gift, or a cozy touch for your own coffee table.

Supplies mentioned

4x4 wood coasters + round coasters (Michaels)
DecoArt paint: Buttermilk, Burlap, Lush Green
