Chinese Coasters on Cork

From a recent trip to China, our son picked up these coasters. They were just made out of thick paper so I loved the look of them and wanted them to last. I mounted them on cork that I cut the size of the paper coasters. Before mounting them, I painted the coasters black to make them have a finished look. Then put a top coat on them so you could place hot or cold cups/glasses on them. This way they should last forever.
