Holiday coasters with crochet snowflakes DIY

This wonderful idea came from Katrin katrinshine who has been crocheting snowflakes for many years. The combination of red felt and white thread are making these coasters so festive!

To make the coasters like these you will need:

Red felt

white crochet thread #8 or 10

a hook

fabric glue

scissors

First crochet your snowflakes (make as many as you need). You can use the pattern Katrin used or use your own if you'd like:

If you need some help with how-to crochet the Katrin's snowflake here it is:

 Block your snowflakes. It's not necessary to use starch.

Make a hexagon pattern and cut the hexagons out of the red felt.

Glue the snowflake to the felt and place it under a heavy book to press it for a couple of hours. If you prefer the embroidery simply stitch the snowflake to the felt.

This project is very easy and the result is great. Happy holidays, everyone and have fun decorating your home!

Wonderful things Wednesday - Happy Halloween!

Are you ready for Halloween? Have you thought about your costume and house decorations? Got candy?

There is still time!

This is that time of the year when pumpkins are everywhere and we just have to get that pumpkin spice coffee in a morning. We are getting in a fall spirit and admiring bright colors. Orange, black and purple are rules!

Close to the end of Month you will see witches, monsters and fairy princesses walking down the streets everywhere. Parties, you know.

When October 31st comes, be prepared. This is a time of celebration and superstition. Put your carved pumpkin out, prepare your sweet treats, light a candle and get ready for the frightful (or not :)) night!
