I've had a stack of plain paper coasters I bought to decorate with a paper Mod Podge technique for awhile. I thought they would be easy to have on hand when we have big groups of people over and really simple to store.

After a bit of research and a little shopping trip for some supplies I devised a way to make my own version.
