Going Retro with Made-By-Elderly Cup Coasters

We've given a new twist to the traditional hexagon-shape patchwork blanket by turning it into cup coasters.

The idea came to us when we noticed how tedious it was for the elderly to make the hexagon patchwork blanket which could take months to complete and yet could not be sold at the price that would justify the tedious labour put in.

We realised it would be a lot easier to make cup coasters instead, which could be sold easily, at an affordable price, and therefore be a quick source of income for the elderly.

And we were right! Our hexagon patchwork cup coasters have become a quirky retro traditional and useful things to have in the home or office. They are also washable.

Here's our latest batch of Retro Cup Coasters made by our elderly. To order, please email georgewong@teddythotz.com for an updated catalogue or copy the image below and indicate which coasters. Price is $6 for a set of any 4 coasters:
