I’ve been thinking about making a set of coasters lately myself. This was useful to see a compilation of examples. I especially like the first set by Antrepo.

This is a nice collection of coasters. It is nice to see every day objects that step outside the norm once in a while.
I rather like the perky chipmunk, the iPhone apps and the cut up newspaper.

love the thick wooden ones. It would of been helpful if there was a mention of the printing companies for each set.

I appreciate the people taking inspiration from my work, but I feel that all designers should be given proper recognition for their work. Could you please include the names of all the designers whose work you are mentioning.

Hi
How wonderful!
I saw some coasters the other day that were decorated using decoupage with beautiful calligraphy displaying quotes and sayings. Each set had a certain theme such as happiness or golf or mothers etc.

Prophet - December 3rd, 2009
Are you making the coasters by hand? Or are you just taking the designs to a place that prints them?

Nice designs.
I like the one with a coffee cup.
Peter - January 11th, 2010
I have picked up the designs by Mehmet Gozetlik. The essential reason for my doing so is that my son is growing up and we want him to pick up the Alphabets and Numbers quick and fast. We had a tough time teaching him eating at the table but now have realised that this idea of having deisgns that can be used to train will help.
Thanks again for the idea Mehmet Gozetlik.
