Christmas Coaster


A quick and fabulous Christmas make for children!

These Christmas coasters take minutes to sew and make perfect presents!

Supplies:

  • Felt
  • Christmas Fabric Scraps
  • Thread
Step 1

Cut the felt into 5"squares and the strips into lengths of 5" and varying widths.


Step 2

Choose a first strip and lay it right sides up again one side of the felt square.

 
 
Lay the next strip of fabric right side down onto the first one and pin in place.
 
 
Stitch in place with a 1/4" seam allowance.
 

 
Open the seam right sides up and carefully iron flat - watch the heat of the iron so you don't singe the felt.
 
 
Step 3
 
Continue placing the strips next to each other a sewing them in place as you go.
 
 

Step 4

The square to 4.5" so that any rough edges are trimmed away.



Step 5

Sew around the edges of the square with a 1/4" seam allowance. This will hold the fabric in place on the coaster.
