I make coasters out of magazine and other paper. I fold then glue the magazine into strips that I can then either roll into round or squared coasters or weave together into coasters. I also upcycle old bar coasters into unique sets by covering them in paper and taping the edges. I can make holders for any of my sets of coasters. I triple seal each piece so they will stand the test of time. The groves hold an amazing amount of liquid that can easily be wiped with a cloth or left to dry. These coasters are easily cleaned with a damp cloth. A set of coasters can take anywhere from two to six hours to make. I made these pieces for the same reason I make all of my crafts: I love to work with paper, and I hate to see anything go to waste, especially if I know it has real potential to be beautiful.

I make upcycled coasters, beads, boxes, notebooks, bookmarks, vases, bowls, and whatever else peaks my interest. If you can modify it with paper, I'm interested. I craft mostly out of magazine and glue, but I also use salvaged, thrifted and gifted materials with a few items being purchased new (e.g. paper, tape, rivets, thread). Items are sealed, covered, or laminated to ensure durability.
When you buy upcycled goods, you get beautiful, unique products while supporting a movement to keep usable items out of the landfills and in our homes.
