Coffee coaster

Perhaps this blog could become our crafty blog? I found this really great magazine at JoAnn's the other day about crafting with recycled items. It cost $15, but it has so many great ideas and got my creativity going again so I had to pick it up. This was one of the ideas in the book. I always pick up things that visually appeal to me at thrift stores even if I don't know exactly what I'm going to do with them. So I have a lot of stuff downstairs just waiting for a project. Anyway, I happen to have a coffee sack which I cut a square out of for the coaster. Then I just sewed on all the other items. It was fun! I started another coaster that was going to be really cool with part of a coffee ad from an old Life magazine, but the paper ended up tearing apart when I sewed it so I have to come up with something else. I have another recycled project done, but I have to take some pictures first. Then I'll post it.
