When I saw the coaster kit free with Crafty magazine (issue 6), I just had to have it! There were many designs that could be made from the kit which were a robot coaster, a dove keyring and a donut but I really thought the "Tea" design was very funky.
I traced round the corkboard onto the felt and cut out the 3 circles. I glued a white piece to the corkboard. On a piece of paper I drew out the word "Tea" and cut out the letters. I found this next bit genius! I taped the letters into position onto my felt and then cut them out using a pair of tiny scissors.
The materials that came free were:
- Corkboard circle
- 3 x felt
- Embroidery thread
- Fabric glue
- Scissors
- Masking tape
- Paper and pencil
- Needle
I then glued the blue felt on top of the yellow felt. With the embroidery thread I made a decorative stitch around the edge of the circle and sewed around the letters in three different colours. The result is a very funky tea coaster which I love so much, I might make some more. For this coaster, I'm going to send it to my sister in Canada who loves English tea.
