Trace the jar lid onto your felt with a sharpie. Cut out as many rounds as you'd like.

Dip the pencil eraser into acrylic paint and do a few test dabs on scrap felt first.
Following this simple constellation cheat sheet, dot your felt rounds and let dry.

To stabilize your coasters, trace the same jar onto the self-adhesive board and affix to the back of the felt.

Give each guest their own starry pattern or zodiac sign. Make a
set for the hostess or a set as a housewarming gift. Once you start dotting, it's hard to stop!
