These little beauties are cheap red flexible foam drink coasters from Ikea.......even on their own they are pretty funky and I wouldn't call them ordinary BUT......they could be.....with a bit of imagination......EXTRAORDINARY! Let your imagination run wild and tell us what you'd do with them!
they could be used as giant buttons lol

lets see.... use them as a stamp or by themselves. cut out the different rings as accents or small circles could be used as tags with photo's or wordart inserted. paint or destress them. :0)

Distress 'em with brown ink and either add strips of see through ribbon to make a flower, or just cut them to look like flowers. Or I'd paint them green and call them lily pads. Paint them black and use as vinyl record like embellishments for retro pages...
Or go crazy with a craft knife and try to make them into a spiral. There is no embellishment in mind, it'd just be fun.

Turn them into a funky mini album-punch a hole at the top of each and hook them on a key chain or binder ring. Embellish the crap out of 'em!

These just scream dangly earrings at me, by cutting them into lots of different sized rings :-O
if they end up too big, well a mobile...with lots of ribbons, the odd quote or photo in the big ones, I'm sure some-one could make it look absolutely fab. Don't know if I could make my vision a reality though....

cut out the inside and use them as circular frames on your page
Use them by themselves as circles on the page
Cut cool shapes out of them

Cut them into flower shapes and use as embellishments. Definitely cut into concentric circles and use on page as frames.
