Give Dad a personalized set of coasters decorated in a theme he'll love. Purchase blank porcelain coasters and use stickers or cut shapes as stencils.
To make the white coasters with colored shapes, start by painting the coasters a solid color; when the paint is dry, add a sticker to the top and paint over the whole coaster with white. Remove the sticker when the second coat is dry to reveal the shape.
Place a sticker on a plain white coaster to make the coasters with white shapes in the center. Paint over the top with a solid color and remove the sticker once the coaster is dry.
