Tartan Coasters

A snuggly flannel is the best way to keep warm when the weather turns colder, so why not give your cup of hot cocoa the same treatment?

Directions:

1. Cut out three squares of fabric per coaster: two 5-inch flannel squares and one 5-inch felt square.
2. Place the felt piece down first, followed by a piece of flannel (face up), and the other flannel piece (face down).
3. Pin the fabric in place, and sew a ¼-inch seam around the edges, leaving a small gap to be able to flip the coaster inside out. Backstitch both ends of the gap.
4. Trim any excess fabric from around the seam, and flip the coaster right side out. If done correctly, the felt should be tucked in with extra fabric at the gap. 
5. Tuck extra fabric into the gap, and stitch around each side a final time.
