What You'll Need
Tools & Materials
Additional materials needed for this project:
- Hot glue gun
- Heat resistant gloves
- Scissors
- Pencil & Fabric (for circular template)
Step-by-step instructions
For the plain circular coaster : Prep the base
Put on heat resistant gloves before handling the hot glue gun
Cut out the circular fabric template to use as the base for the coaster. This will guide the shape and add extra stability.
Work on a protected surface to avoid burns or damage. Use a cup as a guide or any item that you'd like to use the coaster with.Start the coil
Apply a small dot of hot glue at the end of the twine and begin rolling it tightly into a spiral. Be careful when pressing down to avoid burns – let the glue cool slightly before touching.
Build the coaster size
Cut off any hot glue that may have seeped out using scissors.Trim any lose fibres and ensure all pieces are glued securely. Let it cool completely before use.
