Rachel of the blog My Chic Life whipped up these great coasters and she shared her great tutorial on how to make recycled paper and tile coasters over at this post. Wouldn’t these make a great hostess gift that you could make to match your friend’s intrests or decor?

How to make matchbook style packaging for all sorts of tiny things
I love vintage matchbooks and their graphics, they are such a cool little bit of history. Even the concept of a matchbook is dated as there isn’t smoking in public places. So repurposing the packaging format to hold all sorts of tiny things is such a great idea. Pop on over to the blog Reading My Tea Leaves to see all sorts of things you can package in a matchbook and how to make them.
I love this coaster idea! I have a bunch of leftover tiles that I was just using plainly as coasters. Now I am going to dress them up in this way. I actually did something similar with a shoe box that I dressed up for gift giving. Check it out: http://rustic-crafts.com/?p=149
