Coasters are a necessity at my house. We use them and abuse them! I have numerous types that we rotate through but I am never happy with their performance. A napkin always comes into save the coasters day from all the condensation. I have been wanting some with a large cupped edge.
I ran into the Hospice thrift store in town one day and found 6 coasters that hopefully with do the trick! Not only were they what I wanted they were pretty.
The bottom of the coaster comes off so that you can put your own fabric in them.
This is the ugly velour fabric that was in them. Ughh!
I decided to use these fabrics in the coaster.
I love the way they stack
Perfect! And they really do a great job. Not to shabby for $2!

I have coaster envy! Nice bargain, love the fabric especially the dragonfly:) I have that fabric.
I just wish I had found them first! Your choice of fabric is just perfect, and I want them just as they are! You found a real gem and turned them into jewels!
That is great for $2.00, Lacy! I love the fabric you added!
These look wonderful Lacy. Love how you embellished these coasters.
Such a bargain you found. I love the fabric you chose to us to embellish them. Just too cute. hugs ~lynne~

I had these coasters years ago and I so wish I still did -- I love what you did to them. They are perfect!
oooh.......Those are pretty coasters!!! I really love the chunkyness of them!
Great find and improvement. A problem I have yet to settle in a satisfactory way. You're got it nailed. So nice to see. Jane
I just love these. I also have tried many coasters. I love the bulkyness of these. They say, "I am a coaster." for those that need reminding. And they are so pretty. I don't like coaters that stick to the glass when you pick them up.
Hi Lacy...have to say these coasters are awesome. LOVE the fabric combination. Thanks for visiting my blog and your nice comment about my porch. Your blog looks very fun and I'm going to look around a bit more. Happy Weekend! ~Ann
What a cute idea!! Love um!
