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!
