For elders who have limited mobility and strength, it is important to think of some activities that will have better use of their time. For instance, in Kyoto, Japan, there is a small care facility for the elderly and the specialists thought of providing the elders creative outlets to allow them to rediscover the simple joys. They resorted to recreational activities as something elders would enjoy without tiring them and putting their limited mobility to a test.

The facility has already extended much effort that they made one local artist who specializes in mosaic come to the facility every week. She teaches arts and crafts to elders and elders find it very enjoyable. The artist recalled teaching the elders last year how to make colorful coasters. She used mosaic tiles, cork, and glue. To make it more creative, she made it a point to bring a collection of scrap tiles in different materials and prints allowing every elder to be creative as possible in their craft. It was a successful venture seeing how the elders were able to create beautifully-designed and crafted coasters. The products were even sold at a local art festival. 

To give support to the community's facility as well as enjoying the affordable prices of the coasters, many people purchased the crafts. With their purchased coasters, buyers have different takes on how they can make the tile coasters to great use. One buyer commented that she would use the collection of mosaic tile coasters in repurposing her old table in her house. She said it would make a wonderful focal piece in her patio once the tile coaster is added. 

Another buyer suggested also that the tile coaster can be used to conceal unsightly cracks on any countertop and this she was planning to do with her countertop. Not only will it hide the ugly looking cracks but it would also give a new look for her countertop. Additionally, it can be used as a wall decoration at home as another buyer suggested. She plans on having the small coasters pieced together to make one stylish wall decor. Some also said it is a good idea for gifts or hanging accessories for ornamental plants. Indeed there are a lot of benefits of mosaic tiles crafting.

Because of the success of the said project, other artists were inspired to create more artistic crafts and made mosaic tiles as a medium. Today, the facility looks at cutting the tiles to see more about producing more creative ideas. They are also now looking at making a 3D design out of integrating different materials like sea glass, sand, shells, stones, and other stuff. Other products that they take pride in making today are pots, jars, candle holders, jewelry and other materials.
