Needle Felted "Cookie" Coasters
Promised to show these. When i was feeling sick last week i discovered that needlefelting is a craft that is perfect when you do want to be productive but don't have the concentration to do complicated tasks. I was planning on making white felted coasters, but while doing the white layer, i thought of the fact that when you would use the coasters, there would be a big chance that white coasters would be stained with the first coffee cup you put on it... That's how the brown top layer came about. In the end i really like the two colors, they remind me of cookies! I really did want something white on the top, so i decided to do an embroidered border, using a simple chain stitch.
I need to make two more, it would be rude to have people over and just me and my Love having coasters to use, please just hold your cups in your hand... no can't do.
If you like these cookie coasters i will make how to photos and write up a tutorial. Anyone interested?

These are awesome! I really like them :) I've always been curious to see how you do the needle felting, I would love to see pictures.
'but don't have the concentration to do complicated tasks'... Aren't you scared you'd hurt yourself using that sharp needle if you wouldn't concentrate? :-O
*said Curious George hehe*
Mmm...they look delicious enough to eat!
hihi Tess, you're right, you do need to pay attention when needle felting. You really do. Stabbing yourself really hurts!
But it is very repetitive, punching the needle a gazillion times... punch..punch..punch..punch... so not too much thinking about what you're doing, as long as you punch the wool and not your fingers!
I wold love to learn needle felting but it's so expensive!
