My grand daughter is raising money for a trip and I have made up a few felted wool coasters to be sold at her next event.
The felted wool comes from her Mom who enjoys felting wool and creating wonderful items from it. This was felted wool from a reversible coat which was ivory one one side and beige on the other. I cut the panels into four inch squares with a rotary cutter and mat. I rounded the corners by fussy cutting them with scissors. I machine stitched around the edges to create a bit of a border using thread in coordinating colours - beige on the ivory side and ivory on the beige side. Next, I used tapestry wool to embroider designs onto the coasters. I found a few ideas on line and then made up a few others after I got a bit of feel for the process and what I could do with it. I am really happy with how they turned out!! Every dollar counts so I hope they sell out!! Therese
