DIY burlap coasters, giveaway, and NEWBIE party started!

Hope ya'll are not tired of my burlap projects.  

I swear these sacks I have are never ending. I love em' and can't come up with enough projects for them. Let me show you real quick what I have done so far...

This was my first project...

Then from there I made my lampshade from left over scraps...
Mod podged on.

Still some scaps left, so 

I decided to mod podge and burlap the top of this mini trunk..

I still have scraps left so today I decided just one more small project....

I had these coaster for sometime now.  They never were my style.

Today I used some cork board to cover the top..

I hot glued the cork on top of the original coaster.

I then cut the squares to size and mod podged the burlap on the cork.

How easy was that?

They now sit on our coffee table and if in need of a coaster...

WHA LA!

I have two bags left that I would love for one of my followers/friends to have.

If you are interested just leave me a comment and I will throw your name in the hat.

Awesome lettering in a nice shade of blue, and the other rice bag is blue with a pretty shade of green.
that is my favorite one actually.

As you can see these bags are quite large, and the possibilities are endless.

Hope I inspired some of your creative juices.

NOW onto the newbie party.
