Handy Coasters

I've been searching for fun, personal gifts for grandparents and great grand parents for Christmas. I came across this fun idea for handy coasters!

Here is what you'll need:

*  1 piece of card stock

*  chalk or pencil (I recommend chalk because it wipes off)
*  fun fabrics for each side of the coaster b(washed, dried and ironed)
*  1 package of double sided stiff fusible interfacing (I got mine at Joann's for $8.99 a yard)
*  Iron

*  Damp wash cloth

1.  Trace your kiddos and onto a piece of card stock and cut it out to make a template.

2.  Use a pencil or chalk to trace the desired number of coasters on one of the fabric.  Trace the template on the right side of the fabric and I suggest using chalk so it will wipe off easily when you are done.

3.  Cut the fabrics into rectangles (around the traced hand)

4.  cut out a rectangle of interfacing the same size as the fabric

5.  Follow the instructions on the interfacing packages. 

          Mine said:

          a.  iron fabric (on wool setting) wrong side down onto the bumpy side of the interfacing

          b.  turn the interfacing over and peel the clear plastic off

          c.  place fabric wrong side down and cover with a damp cloth

          d.  turn fabric back over and cover the other side with the damp cloth and iron

          e.  immediately iron both side without damp cloth to remove any remaining wetness.

6.  Let fabric cool and cut in cut out the cute little hand for a darling homemade little gift for friends and family!
