I really like the idea of the coasters, too: you often get curling ribbon nearly thrown after and it’s always wonderfully colourful, just the right thing for a picnic or a festive meal on the patio :)
But be careful: the coasters aren’t likely to be heat-proof!
And if you don’t like them, I have more tutorials for coasters ;-)
