Say thanks to your Thanksgiving hostess with a set of these stitched coasters...they're a sweet way to treat yourself too!
Sweetly Stitched Felt Coaster
From our book, Recipes for Saying Thanks...get yours before they're gone!
Cut two 4"x4" squares for each coaster; one will be the top and one will be the bottom. Add enough water to craft glue to make it spreadable with foam brush. Brush on one square and press the other onto it, taking care to line up edges. Once dry, trim edges so that they’re even. Cut out an embellishment using our templates or cutting your own freehand shapes. Glue onto coaster using thinned craft glue. Add additional embellishments if desired. Once dry, stitch a running stitch around the four sides of the coaster and around the edge of your embellishment. Repeat with additional materials to make a set of 4 coasters. Share this idea in lots of ways...email, Facebook, however you like!
