These coasters make great gifts for just about anything. They are super easy to make and absorb condensation from cold drinks. The trick is you use natural tumbled marble 4x4 floor tiles. Stamp with StazOn ink so it wont run or bleed. Felt pads on the bottom for protection. They are absorbent as long as you leave the stone natural and dont seal them.
I saw these a year ago at Urban Outfitter's, and thought that I could make the same thing for a whole lot cheaper.
