Homemade wood slice art set coasters
Make a set of colourful pencil end coasters for Dad and his favourite drink. You can purchase raw wood slices from Amazon and with a permanent marker or pencil, colour in a round circle in the centre so it resembles the end of a pencil. Continue until you have completed a set of six in all different colours. You can go over the colour section with clear nail polish to seal in the marker. If you don't want to use nail polish, probably best to stick to colour pencils.
