To make a Cross Stitch coaster, you will need the following:
  1. Begin by choosing a pattern. I used the free Coaster Cross Stitch patterns.
  2. Cut the shelf liner to the appropriate size. You will need two pieces for each coaster.
  3. Stitch the motif on the shelf liner or vinyl Aida with the plastic needle and the yarn color of your choice.
  4. If desired, cut a piece of craft foam slightly smaller than the coaster size.
  5. Put the craft foam between the two pieces of liner or Aida and join them together using back stitch or whipstitch.
  6. Click on the image to see the completed coaster.
  7. Use your coaster with your favorite beverage. The coaster will be surface washable. I would avoid placing extremely hot mugs or cups on the coaster.
