    4. Use a ½” drill bit to make a hole on the inside of each circle.

    5. Use the jigsaw to cut the circles out.

    6. Sand down any rough edges.

    7. Stain or paint as desired.

    8. Add in carpet squares, glue down.

    9. Add the french cleat to the back according to the directions.
