I make pincushions from bars of soap. Cut a piece of batting the width of the bar and a length that will wrap around the bar at least twice. Cut a strip of fabric, selvage to selvage, 1" wider than the bar of soap. Then use the fabric like you would cord on a package, twisting on the "back" of the soap and bringing the ends to the top. Then tie a nice square knot and trim the ends of the fabric. I don't take the paper wrapping off the bar of soap.

One year my friendship group exchanged gifts and the one I received that I really loved was a fancy square potholder (store purchased but could be hand made) folded in half in a triangle shape, sewn up one side and decorated with a button. The top of it had the little loop handle sticking up. It is used for your scissors. I love it and use it all the time to take to class.

Those criss-cross coasters are a wonderful idea - I bet you could make them a little bit bigger and have cool pot holders! Hmmmmm (thinking) a great, quick stocking stuffer for my DD!

If you used the teflon fabric for the bottom, or used the InsulBrite batting, all you'd need to do is figure out how to put a loop on it.
I took the short bamboo skewers (about 6" long) and glued stones, jewels, etc. onto the blunt end with E6000. I just had to make sure the stones had a hole large enough to slip onto the skewer. Voila, stilletos for a group of friends.
