I was in need of a new set of coasters for my office after my mini pallet coasters started to fall apart. So searched the internet for something cool but after a half an hour of searching, I didn’t find anything worth buying. Then while I was digging through my craft supplies I found a pack of wood circles and decided to make a set of coasters. I went through a few ideas in my head before deciding on a set of PlayStation buttons. So I dug through my box of acrylic paint for the right colors, created a template for the shapes in photoshop, and started on work on my new coaster set. They were easy to make and pair well with the decor of my office.
So if you’re looking for a new coaster set or a gamer looking to add some flair to your game room, give this project a try.

PlayStation Buttons Coaster Set
What you’ll need:
- Wood Circles (The ones I’m using are 3.25 inches in diameter.)
- Acrylic Paint (black, green, red, blue, and pink)
- Paintbrushes
- Tape
- PlayStation Buttons Template
- Scissors and X-Acto Knife
- Pen or Pencil
- Clear Acrylic Spray Paint
- Cardstock (optional)
Instructions
- Take the wood circles and paint both sides and the side edges black. Then set aside and allow them to dry.
- While the wood circles are drying, print out the stencil on cardstock if using and cut out each shape.
- Once the wood circles have dried fully, center and tape the shapes into place. Then trace the outline of the shape on to the wood circle.
- After that carefully remove the shapes from the wood circles, and paint each shape with its designated color. The triangle should be green, the circle red, the X blue, and the square pink. Set aside to let it dry fully.
- Lastly, apply two coats of clear acrylic to your coasters both sides, and edges. Once they dried they are ready for use.
Notes:
- Use sandpaper to smooth rough edges of the wood circles before you start painting.
- If you can’t find clear acrylic spray paint you can use mod podge to seal your coaster.
