On a little downtown stroll two weeks before Christmas, I stopped at my favorite fabric store Fabric of Vision. After a bit of browsing the owner asked me if I wanted a quick fun demo for a last minute gift. Did I!?! I hadn’t even started my crafty Christmas projects  yet. Sixty seconds later I was hooked and ready to go home and make some colorful pinwheel fabric coasters! I purchased two little packages of 5 inch square cut out’s (42 per package) and booked it home to start crafting! Thankfully the little one fell asleep on the car ride home, too! It was fate!

Here is what they look like all done!

Step 1) Cut out 5 fabric squares 5×5, or purchase from your favorite craft store.

Step 2) Fold & Iron 4 of the squares in half, with right sides facing out.

Step 3) Place the square that has not been folded, face up. Carefully arrange the four other squares on top of the face up square, like the lid of a box folded.

Step 4) Pin & sew around all the edges, trying to keep the square shape intact. Below is the front view of the coaster, with all edges sewn up.

Step 5) Trim edges and then turn inside out, and iron flat.

Step 6) Enjoy your work, below is the backside view of my bright set! My sister in-law and I cranked out about 14 in a hour! It’s a really quick fun and easy project!
