DIY Christmas Coasters | Supplies

  • Cotton fabric: Quilting cotton is ideal, but any natural and absorbent fabric can be used. Choose a light to medium-weight fabric as it is harder to get nice points on the tree if the fabric is too heavy. I used mainly green fabrics, but any Christmas print looks really nice.
  • Fusible fleece or heavy interfacing: I like fusible fleece as it gives a nice padded feeling to your Christmas coasters. If you don't have fleece or interfacing on hand, replace it with a thick piece of fabric.
  • Optional - Felt to decorate and buttons or crystals to use as baubles.
  • PATTERN - Download your pattern piece
  • Sewing basics - sewing machine, pins, scissors

DIY Christmas Coasters Tutorial (Instructions for How to Make Christmas Coasters)

Here is the step by step instructions for how to sew Christmas coasters.

Step 1: Cutting

Cut 2 pieces from your cotton fabric. If your fabric has a larger print, try to position the pattern carefully. In my Santa Clause coaster, I chopped off his feet. I should have moved the pattern down a little for a better effect.

Step 2: Trim Fleece

Trim the paper pattern piece back to the dotted seam line and cut out one piece of fusible fleece. This will reduce bulk in your seams and make it easier to get a nice shape.

Step 3: Fuse Fleece

Fuse your fleece to the wrong side of the front of the fabric piece. Make sure it is centered as there is a gap around the outside to reduce bulk.

Step 4: Optional Decorations

Decorate with felt stars inside the seam allowance. Use your sewing machine or embroidery floss and a very small running stitch. If you are adding buttons or beads, add them to the top so they won't interfere with your cup placement.

If you don't want to make your coasters washable, you can use a hot glue gun to decorate after you have finished sewing.

Step 5: Stitch RST

Put your fabric pieces with right sides together and stitch around with a ⅜ inch (1cm) seam allowance. Leave a 1.5-inch gap at the bottom.

Step 6: Clip and Turn

Clip all the corners of the Christmas coaster DIY pattern and turn it the right way out through the hole. Make sure all the corners are poked out well so your branches have a nice shape.

Step 7: Press

Give your Christmas coaster a good press. A spray of water will help difficult fabrics set better. The fabric at the gap at the bottom should be pressed to the inside.

Step 8: Topstitch

Topstitch around the edge of your DIY Christmas coasters closing the gap. Alternatively, you could hand-stitch the gap closed with a slip stitch.
