Step 1

Gather Your Materials

I have included a list of available craft supplies for your convenience..

6 pieces felt (different colors)
scissors
a big sewing needle
sewing thread

Step 2

Choose felt colors that complement each other to make your coaster visually appealing. By having everything organized at the start, you’ll be ready to move smoothly through each step without missing anything.

Step 3

Take a mug or cup to use as a size reference and place it on one of your felt pieces.

Ideally, the felt should be cut larger than the base of your drinkware to provide enough coverage for drips or condensation. Use a pencil or chalk to trace the size you prefer onto the felt.

Step 4

Take five pieces of felt in different colors and cut them into long, narrow strips, each measuring about 1.5 to 2 centimeters wide. These strips will soon be weaved into the base felt, creating the eye-catching design. Choose colors that contrast with your base felt to make the pattern stand out.

Step 5

On the base felt, cut parallel slits that match the width of your felt strips (e.g., 1.5 cm).

Leave at least 1 centimeter of untouched felt at the top and bottom edges to keep the base sturdy. These slits will serve as the space through which you’ll weave the colorful strips..

Step 6

: Take your colored felt strips and weave them over and under the slits on the base felt, alternating with each strip. Ensure the strips sit tightly in place while creating a vibrant woven pattern. Adjust their placement for symmetry and make sure no spaces or gaps are visible.

Step 7

Sew along both sides of the coaster using a blanket stitch. This stitch will secure the ends of the woven strips, ensuring they don’t slide out with use.

Use thread that matches or contrasts with your felt for added visual interest.Sturdy stitching will make your coaster durable.

Step 8

Flatten the completed coaster on the table and inspect it carefully. Look for any loose strips or uneven weaving.

If needed, adjust or tighten the placement of the felt strips. Taking this final look ensures that your coaster is ready for use.
