Beverage coasters are generally seen as away to brand any type of business but they are especially good at marketing a restaurant or bar business.

A problem with coasters has always been that the bottom of the glass can stick to them. This is especially true of tile coasters. The bottom of the coaster sticks to the glass and then it drops to the floor and smashes and breaks. One of the most unique developments in the industry of tile coasters is AbsorbaStone. These are coasters that have a rough finish that keeps them from bonding with the bottom of the glass. This type of coaster is usually backed by cork or rubber to keep them from skidding across the table.
Cocktail coasters are also popular and used to advertise all kinds of things. Some people just get them printed up because they have a great joke or concept that they want to share with their friends. They make great novelty gifts.
Many people also have custom cocktail coasters made up to celebrate something like a birthday or wedding. Cocktail coasters come in all kinds of materials too including wood, glossy board, acrylic, glass and metal. The most basic type of coaster is still made out of cork. These are usually squares or circles into which some sort of advertisement has been inked.
There are also many places online where you can get your business logo branded onto beverage coasters. These make a great Christmas gift. These places online that sell customized beverage coasters ask you to upload an image which is then printed not o the coaster. You can order these types of personalized coasters individually or by bulk. Obviously if you are a business you will want to order them in bulk. The beauty is that you can have any type of message printed up on a ceramic tile they way you would a T-shirt or a mug. It is a great way to get the word out about your services or business.

How to Decorate With Used CDs
Creating crafts from CDS is a great way to get rid of all of those shiny free disks you get in the mail. It’s also a great way to reduce, reuse and recycle those tunes and programs that you know you will never lay your eyes on again.
Perhaps one of the most famous CD crafts project tat exists is a sleeveless knee length cocktail shift, created entirely from CD’s and small gold jewelry hooks. Talk about a great way to create a futuristic outfit for New Year’s.
CD disks look really attractive in any project that has a dangling element to it. Some of the kinds of cd crafts that you can make include Christmas decorations and dangling door hangers. You could even make a chandelier out of it.
All you need to do to personalize a CD is cut an image out of a newspaper (or find one on the Internet that suits your theme or purposes) and glue it or decoupage it over the original record label. For instance if you were making a Christmas decoration, you would use an image such as a snowflake, snowman or Christmas tree. You can use hearts for Valentine’s days and pumpkins for dangling Halloween crafts. These types of CD projects can be dangled from a front door to celebrate the season.
Another way to conceal the label is to simply glue two used CDS together so that the labels of both face inwards. Some individuals hang these CD projects (called “flashers”) in trees to discourage birds and squirrels from plundering a garden.
CD crafts are easily turned into objects that can hang or “dangle” by attaching a looped ten-inch piece of ribbon to the CD with glue. Industrious types might want to try drilling holes into CDs to create attractive hanging mobiles that hang from ribbons or threads.
Decoupage suits the creation of these types CD crafts, especially if you want to try making your very own homemade shiny coaster set. You can also personalize these durable protective table coasters by pasting images over the label of the CD. For instance, an image of the U.S. flag pasted into the center of the coaster would suit a party celebrating Independence Day.
Used CDs also make great candleholders. Glue a candle onto the shiny side of a CD. Surround it with a wreath made of fake or real flowers or branches. You can also decorate the CD surface by securing beads to it with glue. The reason that candle CD crafts are so pretty is that the shiny surface of the acts as a mirror that doubly reflects the glow of the candle.
Whether you are looking to entertain your kids or simply looking for a way to recycle used discs, the Internet is a great source of inspiration for ideas about using these disks to make geometric works of art of all kinds.
