    Default A New Twist (to me!) on An Old Idea!!

    Many of you will have seen these wine glass coasters before ...
    (the new twist is yet to come!)
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]409011[/ATTACH]

    So what if you made them larger?? ...
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]409012[/ATTACH]

    Guess most of us wouldn't need a mega-sized wine glass coaster ...
    ... but you might have use for a pot holder!!
    Instead of the fruit compote, put your hand in the parting of the 4 strips.

    And a look from the other side ...
    (an orphan PC block re-purposed!!)

    The only wine glass coasters I've seen look like little flip flops. I like yours better.
