I found the cute pattern for cup shaped coasters, and then had to make "saucers" also. I assigned a color to each friend! Now they have 8 coasters!
Then I couldn't find boxes to fit the coasters, so I made some myself from watercolor paper! You can see one box with the coasters nestled inside (below). Originally I tried to make origami boxes, but got my measurements off, so that was a complete disaster.
I then cut simple boxes and taped them together. Well, you can't have plain white boxes, now, can you?? So then I decoupaged initials and something that made me think of each of them. Maybe they will use those boxes to store the coasters and think of me this year!
Then, to keep with my original origami idea, I make some little origami cranes.
If you are able to make them without watching the YouTube video - you are a total genius in my book!
