Love the design. You could also try cork instead of cardboard for the bottom. Rolls of cork are easily available online or at big box stores and could make a more finished look. Just a thought...

I did think about doing that but I wanted to project to be quick and easy with around the house items. If I were to make a lot more I would probably do that. Thanks :)

Are these sturdy? It looks like they might collapse if used enough. Especially if you have a hot drink or carry the drink by the coaster. But this is pretty cool!

the cardboard helps out on the bottom ,it acts like an extra foundation.
Over all it shouldn't collapse,unless it was built weak,and if you slam your cup on it causing it to break. thx
