I bought a few packs of round cork placemats from Tesco a few years ago. I found some of those paint tester tubes with sponge applicators at Woodies for dirt cheap (I used a mint green, a soft lilac, a baby pink) and painted them all different colours, mounted them on the wall of our local community moms and tots group and hey presto :o)

We had a really cute, unusual and colourful (yet not offensive or garish) notice board for next to nothing :o)

I kept some for myself and sprayed some with gold for some handy (not ugly) coasters for hot dishes for the Christmas buffet :o)
