Deal of the Week: Napkin Coasters

I love this idea from Real Simple: Recycle Linen Napkins Into Coasters!!

If your linen napkins are at all like mine, they’re stained and ragged from dinner parties and general everyday wear and tare. Instead of just throwing them away, I’ve salvaged the good parts of my napkins by cutting off the stains and frays to make a set of coasters.  Just follow the directions here. It’s so simple! :)

This also works with old, stained tablecloths. I have a bunch of those as well!
