Very creative and well done, I like the Tatuaje one best as it has a great use of different brands.

Those are very nice. Please tell us how you did it. I have a few empty coasters at the moment that I would love to fill with bands.

Please tell us how you did it.

Not sure if you read all the replies, but it sounds like they're two part coasters that you can find at craft stores. Then I'd guess you could glue stick or Mod Podge the bands in place.

Thanks! They were pretty easy to make. I started with a set of coasters that I got from Walmart but you can find them other places too. They're made to hold a small photo so I cut a 3x5 note card to fit in the picture slot and then I used a glue stick to glue the bands to the card. The only tricky part is figuring out how to arrange them. I glued them on with the bands hanging over the edge of the card and then trimmed around the edge when it was dry (much easier than trying to cut them all to fit the edge.) You just put the card in and ta da! I have to give a big shout out to smokingIsh because I got all the cool bands from him.

Check out these coasters I made. I think they're pretty cool. :eyebrow:

Instruction guide please. Craft stores, just like the cigar clock. Glue, drill, clock set. Thanks bro.

I found some photo coasters at Bed Bath and Beyond (wife and I had a big day planned). They have space for a 2.5x2.5 photo. Mine came out pretty good I think.

i got the same ones. well thats after i bought the wrong ones that have "family" and "laughter" written on the coaster. took em back and got the plain glass ones. what kind of glue/ adhesive did you you use? im afraid a glue stick would kinda warp the bands.

Eww you can see a sticky residue on the Tat coaster. Must clean.....

Hmm I used Tacky glue because it was sitting in the desk drawer. Then because the inserts wouldn't center on their own very well I left a little tab on the insert and taped down the edge so it wouldn't shift. That way I can easily change them in the future.

[jwintosh]
