Flower Coaster

A while back I showed some pics of some Hobby Lobby buys. I went on the hunt for the felt flip-flops Mischelle had turned into a mini scrapbook. I found those, and also some really cute pink flower coasters. They came in a pack of four, and so I sent a couple to my friend Julie, crafter extraordinaire, and challenged her, and myself, to see what we could do with these.

Now, obviously, they could be made into the front & back cover of a mini book, but, what else could we do? Well, great minds, or maybe just us eccentric paper-crafters, sort of think along the same lines..... You can see the FABULOUS little wall hangings Julie made with these here.


I thought it would make a cute frame for my own little flowers:


I used some paper from the Lilianna collection for the tags and also created a stand for the back. (Sorry forgot to get a pic of that. It's just a 3 x 8 strip, scored at 3, 3.5, 4, and 7, glued the 1" flap over & then the stand to the back of the coaster.)

How do you like that accent circle? That came from the packaging for that cute little green flower, a Target $1 spot special. Cool when you can use something like that, huh?

So, I ended up with a standing photo frame and Julie's was a wall-hanging.

But I still had another coaster left.....

so, I also created a little door hanger note holder for Rebecca:




















There you have it! Pretty simple, huh?
