Christmas Coasters!
These things are a doddle to make (another typically Brit word for you Erin, enjoy!), they look really cute, and make a great last minute gift when you are running out of time (and energy)...
I followed this tutorial, although if I made these again I would make a slight modification. The first square to stack in the pile would be an extra charm square, right side down. Just because when you fiddle around to get a wine glass into the coaster, you end up seeing quite a bit of the batting. Which doesn't look so great.
These are now pressed, stacked, tied and wrapped.
And ready to put under the tree. Which, by the way, I bought and decorated last night :o)
I didn't know you were supposed to stick the end of the wine glass inside the coasters. I was given some earlier this year and just thought they hadn't been finished off properly!
