Coasters with filler look creative and fresh. A container of a suitable size is used as a basis. You can make it yourself from plywood or thick cardboard. Or find it among the items available in the house. For example, from a jar with a neck, a tin box or a vase. Cereals (buckwheat, rice, millet) or legumes (peas, chickpeas, beans) are suitable as fillers. If the container is transparent, then the alternation layer by layer of cereals of different consistency and color looks impressive. Bamboo sticks are an excellent option for filling the stand. This material has cleansing and disinfecting properties. It can be easily replaced as it gets dirty.

A magnet fixed in a convenient place will hold the sharpening stone. Such stands can be placed either on a horizontal surface or attached to a wall.



Coasters from unnecessary books look original. Several copies are tied together with a tourniquet or rope. Before inserting the knife into the book holder, wipe it from dirt and water to avoid damage to the product.
