Backyard Coaster Craft

Summer is backyard BBQ time and we’ve created these beachy Backyard Coasters to bring the fun and memories to your house whenever you want! You might want to make a Picnic Caddy to add to your outdoor table setting.

Trivia:

The modern coaster was developed as a beer mat in Germany where it was originally called a bierdeckel. According to the British Beermat Collectors Society, the object was originally produced in cardboard by a German paper mill called Friedrich Horn, and quickly innovated on by Robert Sputh, who produced absorbent pads not dissimilar to what you find today.
