   Open felt ball packages and place balls in one pile.
   
   Plug in hot glue gun and make sure you have enough glue refills to get through the entire craft.

   Step 2: Glue your first felt ball in the center of the coaster.

   Add a dab of glue to either the top of the coaster or back of the ball and place in the middle of the coaster. , Encircle the center felt ball with other felt balls, keeping the circle extremely tight without crowding the balls.
   
   Add enough glue to hold balls in place but avoid over-gluing (which will cause sloppiness). , Work closely and use your wooden skewer if balls shift or move. ,, This could mean up to 24 hours depending on where you are working (more time for warm, humid climates). ,
