I've seen coasters like these in the shops and they are not cheap! So when my husband collected and cut up logs for our chimnea, it gave me an idea...
He cut me 4 'slices' from the log. They aren't quite the the same thickness, but we thought that made them more appealing.
I dusted them down with a brush and then I applied a layer of Mod Podge to seal them.
Finally, I cut out some felt circles and Mod Podge'd them to the underside of the coasters - something to project the furniture.
Really pleased with these, I love their rustic look.**** Linking up at these sites

Your coasters are great and I love your glasses, too! I'd be thrilled if you'd link up at this week's Off the Hook!
what a great idea! My hubby cuts wood to heat our house... I may just have to steal a log or two and make a bunch of these. How did you cut it so thin?
I've never seen something like this before! They're so unique! I need to get my hands on a log.

Using a vice and my husband's very steady hand. I now want to find some larger logs so I can make some matching place mats :)
Cute, love them... too bad my husband won't let me go nowhere near a big saw like that because, klutz that I am, I will end up with cute coasters and nine fingers ;-)
I love these! I wish I had a little lumberjack to help me out... lol!
