Steps
Gather your tools and materials
Below you'll find all the tools and materials you'll need to complete this project.
Paint the base layer
Spread out your newspaper or dropsheet over the work surface to minimise mess.
You'll need some type of coasters for this project – we're using cork (found in the garden section of Bunnings) but you could also use MDF.
Using the acrylic paints, paint the coasters in matching colours – red for cricket, orange for basketball, green for tennis and so on. You can do four matching coasters, or four completely different ones!
Once you've done two–three coats of paint, leave to dry.
Add some detail
Once the paint is dry, start adding the detail of each ball with a felt-tip pen. Use a white pen for the cricket stitching and tennis ball lines, and a black marker for the basketball and soccer ball. You may need to go over the lines a few times to help them pop!
Leave to dry for a few hours, before wrapping up ready for Dad's big day.

Health & Safety
Please make sure you use all equipment appropriately and safely when following the advice in these D.I.Y. videos. You need to be familiar with how to use equipment safely and follow the instructions that came with the equipment. If you are unsure, you may feel it is safest to consult an expert, such as the manufacturer or an expert Bunnings Team Member.
Grave health hazards are linked to asbestos, which may be in homes built up to 1990. Health hazards may result from exposure to lead-based paints in older materials and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer. You can also use a simple test kit from Bunnings to indicate the presence of lead-based paint.
