[Nfb-krafters-korner] plastic canvas coasters

[Theresa Taylor]

There is a cool material that Carol found in Michigan known as t-shirt cloth 
and it is called Jazz, and it is two thick for actual plastic canvas, but in 
this light I wonder if there is a way to split it into smaller stripts or 
use another type of fabric that is washable. The Jazz material is awesome!
