Felt Christmas Coasters

It is almost Christmas so I made some Christmas themed felt coasters. I used the same technique as for my felt coasters from fall.

The base is a piece of white felt, 10 cm by 10 cm (~4in), and the “binding” is green. I glued all the small parts to the base using a simple glue stick. After glueing the binding for the first one I remembered, that it is way easier to glue the white base instead of all the small pieces since felt is not that rigid.

After the nine patch coaster was ready I just realised that it is perfect for another Christmas Tic Tac Toe.

Leaf Coasters

I like fall. The leaves turn such interesting colours here in my corner of the world. I love the reds and oranges and yellows, they are so beautiful. Somehow I always end up with leaves in my hand.

A couple of weeks ago I created some coasters from felt and this time I wanted to try something similar, but with leaves. I had leaves with different colours from green to red that are flat and have the least amount of damage.

First I glued the leaves to a sheet of paper from an old exercise book. After deciding on the pattern, I cut out all the shapes I needed and then glued them on another sheet of paper. Then I traced the edges with my sharpie because I liked the look better and used my iron to dry and flat out the coasters. Use medium heat and also, you don’t want any steam — so no water in the iron! Finally, I used some decoupage glue to coat the coasters.

Each coaster is 10 cm x 10 cm (about 4 inches by 4 inches). I used some great old quilting block desings, and of course I had to try a crazy block with the tiny scraps I had after the normal blocks. To have better colours, I used my scanner for the following images.

Felt Coasters

Here are some pictures of the felt coasters I made yesterday. This was a really easy project, I love it! Was a great, fun way to use some felt scraps. I can see myself making many more of these - quick and kind of addictive!

The coasters are 10 cm (4”) wide and I used some leftower felt in warm fall colours. The first one is a very easy maple leaf quilt pattern, for the second one I designed a basic pumpkin applique pattern, and the third one is a very abstract pumpkin.

And now let's have a nice cup of coffe...

Enjoy!
