Everyone needs a good coaster. Tape the loop to the floor to hold it in place. They make great diy christmas gifts. Make sure tape is not blocking the inside of the channel it s ok to tape have tape on the inside just make sure it is pressed flat and will not block the marble.

First find a nice flat space perhaps a dedicated table and assemble the coaster base. Tape the free end of the pipe insulation to a table or chair forming a large hill leading down. Ask an adult to use the utility knife to cut the pipe insulation in half lengthwise forming two u shaped channels. Curl one end of a piece of pipe insulation into a loop roughly 1 foot in diameter.

To build the base connect about 300 square pieces together in a 20 piece long x 15 piece wide rectangular shape. Curl one end of a piece of pipe insulation into a loop roughly 1 foot in diameter. The next step in becoming a marble coaster builder is to use your printed pieces to build your roller coaster. Everyone needs a good coaster.

Make sure tape is not. Use up your leftover tiles to make marble coasters. Use masking tape to hold the loop in place and tape it to the floor on both sides of the loop.
