Place a glass or ceramic coaster on your stovetop to use as a spoon rest while you're cooking.
A glass or ceramic coaster is also a great spot to rest your glue gun tip while you're crafting, it will catch and cool drips and protect your work surface.
If you have the opposite problem and you need some coasters, try adding some felt discs to the bottom of a compact disc for a cool coaster.
Extra tiles from a renovation can be transformed in the same way!
