Remember all those coasters we've bought?? Well here is a good use, of many, for them:) I was totally inspired by the tin frames I saw in this months issue of PaperCrafts Mag. I didn't have the frames made by MM, but I did have some nice CS and my cuttlebug??!!! I just "cuttled" the paper, rubbed ink over the raised portion and tied with M's ribbon. And of course, who could go wrong with Prima flowers?? These are from the Essentials 2 line that I just received from a share with TexasJodylynn. She has great customer service and is a super-sweet gal! Lastly, be sure to adhere a magnet strip on the back and voila!
UPDATE:Use your paper piercing guide to make a perfect center square. Just lay the piercing guide over the coaster(they are the exact same size) and determine how big you want your border to be. Pick 4 holes to punch, remove guide, connect the dots with a pen and cut out with an exacto knife. Works perfectly every time. Its hard to tell from the photos, but I chose two different border sizes, two of them have wider borders for added interest:)
