If you are having a summer barbecue or just want some informal coasters, here is a quick no-sew project for you.
All you need are some scraps of fabric, paperback fusible web, and fast2fuse.
For each coaster:
cut two 4 1/2″ fabric squares of fabric
cut one 3 1/2″ circle of fast2fuse
cut one 4″ square of paperback fusible web
- Fuse the paperback fusible web to the wrong side of one fabric square.
- Using a piece of paper backing from the fusible web or a Teflon sheet to protect your ironing board, fuse the fast2fuse circle to the wrong side of the remaining fabric square.
- Fuse the web-backed square to the other side of the fast2fuse. Press the fabric very tight around the edge of the fast2fuse to make sure the fabric edges will fuse together.
- Use scissors, pinking shears, or scallop scissors to cut a circle, cutting about 1/4″ beyond the fast2fuse circle.
Trimming with decorative scissors adds a nice touch.
That’s all there is to it. These are quick and use very little fabric. You could make them for any special occasion or to match any décor or style. I made mine with a different fabric on each side of the coaster for a mix and match look. You could also cut the fast2fuse into squares or hexagons to create different shapes. The possibilities are endless.
