Over the course of the last few years, I've picked up a dozen or so of those 'free AOL' CDs; it seems that you can't buy a computer, check your mail, or even buy a tech-magazine without one of them falling into your lap.
Being the packrat I am, I just couldn't bring myself to recycle them. After leaving a coffee stain on my computer desk, I got the bright idea to make some coasters.

Step 1: Adhesive Felt

I picked up some adhesive felt in the 'scrapbooking' section of Wal-Mart. It set me back a whole 88 cents. One sheet of 9"x12" felt will make 4 coasters.
