I have quit a few magazines just laying around the house. I always hate to just throw my magazines out for the weekly recycling just because they seem to cost so much to buy. I have been reading articles about upcycling. Upcycling is taking something that is useless and recycling into something that can be used. I have also read on several articles on-line about magazine coasters, and I thought to myself why not. So I decided to give it a try with a basic basket weaving technique that I knew. I will post later how to make these step by step once I make some more. I wasn't sure how they would turn out so I didn't take pictures a long the way as I made it. I am also selling a 4 set of these coasters for $5.00 plus shipping and handling. If you would like to order some just leave me a comment with your email address or email me. It may take me a little bit to make them I already have a few request for these.
I think on the next set of these that I make I am going to add clear packing tape over the paper so that it wont get ruined from water.
Why couldn't you use some kind of polyuthene and it would be water resistant!
