Directions
- Give each student a recycled CD, a felt circle and glue.
- Have students glue the felt onto one side of the CD, creating a soft bottom surface to prevent furniture scratches. (Younger students may need assistance with steps 2 and 3.)
- Instruct students to glue their photos to the other side of the CD.
- Help students carefully place a sheet of clear adhesive paper over the top of the photograph and trim off the excess around the CD edges.
- Encourage students to create a decorative border for their coasters by gluing small washers, bolts and/or nuts around the rim. (This will prevent drinks from sliding off the coasters.)
- Invite students to present their keepsake coaster to an important male figure in their lives (e.g., dad, uncle, grandfather, etc.) for Father’s Day!
