Tea-coaster / Cover of Container: Rukhawat Item for Indian Wedding

Fig 1

Hello friends,
This weak I made these wedding items for wedding of my friends's daughter. These are cover of containers. In India such containers filled by jam jellies etc, are generally presented to daughter in her wedding as they are useful for their new life. This is called rukhawat. For details of rekhawat, you may read my post,

Later on the daughter may use them as tea coaster by laminating them. Fig 2.
Generally tea coasters are seen to be hexagonal that's why I made them penatagonal, fig 3, because we want some thing new, different. You may made more pieces and join them to form big doily as in fig 4.
