=================================================================================================
Dress up your holiday table or serve hot beverages in style with these easy-to-make fabric Christmas ornament coasters. This beginner-friendly DIY project is perfect for those looking to explore seasonal crafts and create unique, festive decorations.
Materials Needed: - Cotton quilting fabric or denim (100% cotton recommended) - 100% cotton batting - Medium weight interfacing (optional for stiffness) - Basic sewing tools (scissors, needle, thread, sewing machine or hand sewing supplies)
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Prepare your template and cut fabric: Use a 5-inch circular template (with seam allowance) to cut fabric circles for each layer of the coaster.
- Layer the pieces: Create a layered stack, typically consisting of a base circle, a slightly smaller ring or decoration piece on top, and a smaller accent circle to create a festive ornament look.
- Sew the layers: Carefully sew the layered fabric pieces together, shaping the coaster and reinforcing edges.
- Add batting and interfacing: Insert cotton batting between fabric layers to add thickness and protection for surfaces; interfacing adds firmness.
- Finish edges: Depending on your design, finish with topstitching or decorative stitching around the coaster edge for a polished look.
- Add ornament details (optional): You can add ribbons, buttons, or small embroidery to mimic Christmas ornament decorations.

To make smaller fabric ornaments for a Christmas tree, simply reduce the diameter of the ornament base circle and the ornament cap rectangle. For added flair, consider adding an ornament hook to the smaller ornaments for hanging.
