I made a set of these coasters at a craft Workshop at Loobis. You start off with greyboard and prime them with gesso. Then glue rice paper on and neaten the edges with sandpaper. Finally add several layers of varnish and finish off the edges with gold wax. I have made 6 sets so far and given 3 sets away to friends. I will be making more for Xmas presents and I'm now on the lookout for more rice paper designs.
