Left over Wedding Napkins to Coasters D.I.Y.

So one thing that we have a huge excess of after our September wedding was cocktail napkins! Apparently people do not actually use 2.5 napkins per person as recommended by the wedding supply companies!! I hate to see all these napkins go to waste & just knew that I had to do something with them. So I decided to make some coasters. These will be a fun, cost effective, recycled, and personal gift for loved ones in our lives this Christmas.
