Who this list is for
This checklist is for crafters planning to make four mosaic drink coasters using cork bases and pre-cut tiles. It’s designed for home hobbyists, small group sessions, or anyone wanting a manageable project that doesn’t require a full workshop. If you want to finish in a single sitting and keep cleanup simple, this list is for you.
How to use this list
Lay out your four cork coaster bases on a protected tabletop. Arrange pre-cut glass mosaic tiles in your desired patterns before gluing. Use tile adhesive with a palette knife to secure tiles. Once dry, mix tile grout in the plastic tub and apply with a small grout float. Wipe away excess grout using a grout sponge. After grout sets, apply grout sealer for durability. Attach felt circles to the coaster bottoms. Wear safety glasses and nitrile gloves when handling tiles and grout. Use painter’s tape to mask coaster edges for neat lines.
What to skip
Don’t use regular household glue instead of tile adhesive—it won’t hold up. Skip hand-cutting tiles unless you have experience; pre-cut tiles keep things safer and easier. Avoid skipping safety gear, especially gloves and glasses when using tile nippers. Don’t rush grout drying or skip sealing; both steps protect your finished coasters.
What is on this list
You’ll need four cork coaster bases, one pound of pre-cut glass mosaic tiles, eight ounces of tile adhesive, a pound of tile grout, a small bottle of grout sealer, tile nippers, safety glasses, two pairs of nitrile gloves, a palette knife, a small grout float, two grout sponges, a plastic mixing tub, a roll of painter’s tape, and sixteen felt circles. Cross off items you already own before shopping.
After the craft session
Let coasters dry completely before using or gifting. Wipe down all tools and store them for next time. Safely dispose of tile scraps and used gloves. Remove painter’s tape carefully to avoid lifting tiles. Store leftover adhesive and grout in airtight containers for future repairs or projects.
