Made By Cynthia Rae sent me a link to her great custom coaster project. She made pretty coasters using some simple materials that she found at the dollar store, and some scrapbooking paper she had on hand.

Project Estimate:

Set of cork-backed coasters, $1
Permanent glue stick, $1
Transparent shelf liner, $1
Scraps of pretty paper, on hand
Scissors, cutting board, X-acto knife, on hand

Total cost: $3

this is a great idea. I’m thinking even using unusual papers, like dictionary pages or old kids book illustrations, not just scrapbook paper. I love making tiny things, and coasters are right up my alley! Thanks for the idea! Carrie

Simple and easy idea for great looking coasters! Have you thought about printing designs on paper for creating your own look? That might be an idea as well for these. Thanks for the idea!
