Before starting work, it is necessary to prepare:
- six wooden blanks (they can be cut from plywood yourself or purchased in a specialized store);
- watercolor;
- a pencil;
- acrylic lacquer;
- brush with synthetic pile No. 3 (for coloring);
- a round brush with synthetic pile (for applying varnish);
- eraser;
- a device for burning;
- a container of water.
Having prepared everything you need, you can start creating coasters:

1. On the first blank with a pencil, draw a dahlia and a border along the edges;

2. On the second blank, draw a border and draw a rosehip flower;

3. On the third stand depict wild strawberries, daisies and a border;

4. On the fourth blank, draw raspberries and a border;

5. On the fifth stand, depict a branch of mountain ash, lingonberries and a border;

6. On the sixth blank, draw a dogrose and a border;

7. Turn on the burner and wait for its tip to heat up. Then gently burn out the contours of the dahlia and the border on the first workpiece;

8. Burn out the rest of the coasters, carefully drawing pencil outlines around the tip of the burner. Then turn off the device and remove all pencil lines with an eraser;

9. Prepare watercolors for work, slightly moistening them with water. Then color the stand, which shows the dogrose. To make the color more saturated, put several layers of paint on the flower petals. Fill the border with a light brown paint;

10. Color the second stand, which shows the berries of wild strawberries and chamomiles. On the leaves, mix green and yellow paint to achieve smooth color transitions;
