Valentine Coasters

Looking for a simple Valentine's Day gift for your child's teacher, a co-worker, or a friend? Here's a cute idea- Valentine's coasters. Pair it with a mug full of candy, and you've got the perfect gift!

The coasters are super easy to make. I was able to make a set of four while my toddler took a nap.

Choose two coordinating festive fabrics and a coordinating backing. Cut four 4 1/2" squares of each of the festive fabric and backing. Cut four 4" squares of batting for the inside of the coasters.

Once the fabric is cut, take a square of the festive fabric and the backing, and place them right sides together. Sew along the sides (use a 1/4" seam allowance), leaving a small opening on bottom. Do this for each square.

Turn the squares right side out, and place a piece of the batting in each square. Sew up the opening, using a blind stitch. Press with an iron.

Then take a contrasting color of fabric and cut out four 3" hearts (small enough to fit in the middle of the coaster). Applique a heart on each coaster. You can do this by hand or by machine. I did mine by hand using a blanket stitch.

And there you have it! Four adorable Valentine coasters. You could also change the fabric/design to go with your own living room motif to add a little pizzaz to your home.
