Intro:

Hello there! This is my first instructable, and it is dedicated to my dad, who wanted these coasters.

What You Will Need

Here's what you will need:
Popsicle sticks
Q-tips
Glue (Elmer's, tacky, or hot glue will work)
And PATIENCE.

Okay, Let's Start!

So first you will need to lay down 6 Popsicle sticks about 2-4 centimeters apart.

The Support ;)

In order for these wonderful structures to work, you will need a counterweight to sustain the cups weight.
(Just get 3 more Popsicle sticks, were making science)
Take your spreader (q-tip) and spread glue on the thin side of the three Popsicle sticks

Place the Supports

Place the supports on the first, middle, and last sections.
If your coaster is wobbly so far, don't worry.. It's the top layer that does wonders.

Finishing Layer!!

You're almost done!
Get six more Popsicle sticks and put glue drops on the 3 sticks in the three parts where the sticks will touch.

Repeat Step 6

Repeat step six until your coaster is done!
Let it dry, and then paint it some awesome colors!

Thanks for reading!
