flungonin:
Have you thought of the bottoms of coffee cups (ceramic). Ceramic is pretty cheap. Thrift stores, and free samples of ceramic (tile) from home improvement centers. Different varities of cheap material available. Ceramic lids from toilets have a lot of material also.

I've thought about ceramic toilet pieces, but never really thought about mugs. That's a good idea too. My trouble is controlling my fractures, I always end up taking off too much
