Reuse it

Alumna Alyson Beach began collecting cardboard coasters from restaurants when she lived at Jayhawker Towers. “Once you tell people you collect something, they just start bringing those things to you,” she says. It wasn’t very long before Beach was able to make several coaster “curtains.”

A coaster curtain can liven up a drab space and remind you where you spent your beer money.

Take each coaster and, using a pushpin or hole punch, poke holes in the top and bottom. Thread a paper clip through the top of one coaster. Next, thread that same paper clip through the bottom of another coaster to connect the two. Keep adding coasters until the “curtain” is as long as you’d like.

Hang your creation on a wall using pushpins or sticky tack.
