    Got my calendar coasters made this afternoon (10 of them)

    Calendarcoasters005.jpg

    Top one is made from a beer mat, bottom is from a chipboard rectangle.

    The smaller chipboard ones were much easier to cover, but the bigger beer mat ones do look better imo.

    I'm pleased with them, so am going to order another 30 calendars - 10 to make ones for my family members and another 20 for selling.

    Well done Louise, they look great!

    Kandipandi, I got mine from Ebay - just search for magnets and you should manage to find them.

  • Just want to let everyone know I saw Sally's stuff today and its much better in real life than on the photos. I hope you managed to sell some things. I would have loved to buy somethings but broke at the moment.
  • Hello all

    I have been busy and have now finished my calendar coasters (for Nan's and teachers). Really pleased with them and thank you to everyone who helped and advised me :T

    Thank you Orlathlouise

    That's really kind of you to say so. It was good to meet you despite the awful weather conditions.
