Here is the tutorial for the cross stitched coasters!
First, gather your materials. You will need:
2. Kraft Board (I used the back piece of a notebook)
3. Scissors
4. Tape
5. Small Awl
6. A work surface that can be damaged (I used a cardboard box)
7. Embroidery Thread
8. Needle
Once you have gathered your materials, cut out your coaster template.
Using the template, cut out the coaster from the kraft board.
Securely tape the template to the coaster.
Use the awl to punch the holes in the coaster. Make sure to do this on a work surface that will not be ruined such as a cutting mat or cardboard, the awl will cause damage to most furniture.
Once all the holes are punched, remove the template.
Thread some embroidery thread through your needle and begin stitching your coaster.
Stitch as much or as little as you want.
Here is my finished coaster:
If you make some of these coasters I would love to see pictures of them.
