Old CD's to Coasters?

Good Idea - The TV room has become the second dinning area for Sean and I.  We've been meaning to buy some coasters for a long time to add to our little "kitchen."  However, why buy when you could just make one!  For family night Sean and I thought outside the box to accomplish this task.

First...all of us probably have a million CD's lying around the house.  I had albums full of CD's sharpied  Mix #1, Mix #4, Best Mix Ever, and of course  Epic Mix.

Second, we wanted to make this a recycled project, so we found some newspapers which would go on top of the CD's.  We traced the CD's over the newspapers and then cut them out.  The paper was then modge podged onto the CD.  

Third, after it was dried, we used polyurethane to seal the paper so it would hold up a little better.  This was soooo easy!  The hardest part was just waiting for it to dry.  The finished product looks like this!
