DIY Typographic Character Coasters
Here is how you can start this DIY project:
The coasters were laser cut from 1/8″ thick cork. The fonts represented include Times New Roman, Gill Sans, Courier New Bold, Futura Bold Italic, and Miso. We picked characters that seemed appropriate for making into single-piece coasters, and scaled them to size, assuming a 3″ diameter glass could be placed on top. For the caret, that meant a larger font size than for the octothorpe.
The 1/8″ cork sheets cut well with a hobby knife if you have a steady hand.
Besides plywood and cork, we also made coasters out of medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Both MDF and plywood are susceptible to moisture damage (an operational hazard for coasters!) so we sprayed them with a clear acrylic coating to make them water resistant.
Done! You can keep the custom coasters or give your family or friends as the personalized gifts.

How to Hang Your Christmas Lights Correctly
It's better to hang Christmas lights vertically, instead of wrapped around your tree in circles. This way every tip of your tree, from branch to branch, will twinkle with delight. Plus, it'll prevent lights from getting stuck in the middle of your tree, covered by other branches.
