Hama coasters.

Every year in July and also in December we struggled with ideas for gifts for teachers. Something that is more original than a box of chocolates, ideally made by a child and, of course, useful! And then we came across the idea of making coasters from Hama beads... Wow, that has opened up a lot of new projects! And lovely handmade gifts for all occasions. Everyone needs a coaster and if a teacher doesn't want to take it home, it can be used at work! Win-win!

Of course we started with Pinterest, I made a board, you are welcome to have a look  - http://uk.pinterest.com/tamaratovey/hama/

 Another lovely idea is to add glow in the dark beads to your set - http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_9/276-4192129-1545026?url=search-alias%3Dtoys&field-keywords=hama+glow&sprefix=hama+glow%2Caps%2C158

 

We wrap them so quickly, but I have managed to take a photo of this one as well:

Hope you found this helpful, I can tell you that once you start you can't stop!
