Giveaway (Jan): Set-of-4 Coaster {Closed}
January 5, 2010 by Craft Passion
in Announcement
Love this post? Give me a thumb's up 
Happy New Year & Happy New Decade to all my lovely readers and visitors. I kick-off my 1st 2010 post with a Giveaway Draw!!! Set-Of-4 Coaster to be won…. Who will be the lucky winner?
I had a wonderful break of a few days during Christmas, getting my daughter ready for her first day at primary school, bonding with my son who I have “neglected” and clearing up and rearranging my craft room. My craft room was so messy due to non-stop crafting. I sat down in my oh-so-clean-and-tidy room and began to think what am I going to make for the January Giveaway, so I brought out a bunch of books and materials I bought for myself as Christmas gifts…. after looking through all the materials and begin inspired by Theresa Pulido – Hook, Loop & Lock, I decided to make locker hook crafts. It is truly fun and easy to make. Can you believe it, this is my first attempt and I gave myself a BIG pat on my back for being able to learn, digest, design and complete them in 4 days, most importantly, it has the quality of Craft Passion’ standard. And, by the way, I made my own tool for the “locking” since I haven’t have enough time to search for it as I presumed it is not very common in my country. Brand new year, brand new crafts… I learned again!!!
This set-of-4 coaster, which I call “Past-Present-Future”. The digits of 2010 can be arranged as 2001 – past, 2010 – present and 2100 – future. I hope the coaster can last until 2100 or/and the earth can still survive by then…. I started to worry about this lately especially after watching the movie “2012″… This really is no joke, the temperature is increasing, if it is not under control (the least that we can do), we will end up like in the movie. Well, we really need to help the earth by reduce-recycle-reuse! Just in case you didn’t know, I have a few recycle projects for crafts, click here to get there.
The materials I used for these coasters are new since they are meant to be given away. I would prefer to use recycle fabric or T-shirt yarn if possible, well, I will do that for my own use, may be a rug rag.

I love the coasters. I have done a little locker hooking too. It can be fun.
It is really fun. Hope you can share some of your projects with us
I love the past present future …. my new years resolution .. in the past, present …. future is just gonna have to wait a bit. I love coaster. I have my great grandma crochets coasters on my table, they are used everyday, I just love them plus it reminds me of here great loving spirit. ♥
I hope mine will too
Very cute coasters. I too believe we need to reduce, reuse, recycle as much as we possibly can because the earth depends on us doing so. Thanks to sites like yours that give me great ideas in how to do more!
Thanks! Hope you enjoy all kinds of recycling process
I love the coasters! We recycle everything recycable and we use cloth diapers. My husband also uses a coal heater in the garage instead of electricity. Thanks so much for oppurtunity! Hope I win
Good Luck!!!
I love this kind of craft ie your coasters…but never done it before…Currently I’m helping our Earth by sending recyclable items to the recycle centre, re-use takeaway plastic containers, use ceiling fan instead of air conditioning, re-embellish my old clothes instead of throwing them away, taking LRT instead of driving my car to town…
I will post a tutorial on this so you can try this out later. You are doing a lot to save the Earth, I am glad, glad!!!
The coasters you have made are just wonderful! I have been saving old t-shirts to make strips out of to crochet with. I’m getting there! I started following you on facebook and that’s how I ended up here on your blog. I look forward to following you the rest of the year and learning much.
Thanks for following!!! I am so delighted!!!
I love the coasters very fun!!! I do my part in saving the earth by reusing old sweaters and tshirts making them into blankets and fun fashion wear for my 10 year old step-daughter.
Must be very cute!!!! Hope that I can see some photos on these
Oh, I adore the coasters, but I seriously doubt that we will live until 2100. I’m willing to do anything to save our planet, and I’ve already donated for tropical forests and wildlife. Now we can just hope for the best.
Please pass it down to your family if you win
Keep our finger crossed!
Hi…well I would go on sorting my garbage…recycling everything I can, reusing materials. I try my best to avoid things going to dump sites.
Great! I am doing the same too!
Happy New Year to you! Thanks for another great giveaway! I’ve never seen this craft before so I appreciate being introduced to it.
How I’m planning to save the world- I’ll be knitting and crocheting mostly from my stash this year! Reduce my carbon footprint by reducing consumerism.
I have dug out lots of my stashes during the Christmas holidays. I am also going to utilize all the materials for this year.
And I’m a member of your Facebook Fan Club and also gave you a thumbs up!
Thanks but please leave a comment at the page for the second entry (as stated in the T&C above).
I love these coasters and can’t wait to learn this new craft!
Tutorial coming soon
It’s beautiful. I want it. If I don’t get it, I’ll make it. Cheers.
It is easy so I bet you are going to learn it very fast
Tutorial coming soon.
Love the coasters. Love what they are made of! Another beautiful job!
Thank you
Hope you are going to try this craft out too.
At 53, I’m an old hand at planet saving, around the home especially. Politically, I could speak up a lot more. I believe in people power.
I am super impressed and glad that you help the Earth by spreading the knowledge around!!! Thank you!
HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR EVER!!!
I too am living where we can’t find updated craft materials…Am interested in your “own tool for locking”.Very beautiful work, envy your courage !!
It is a very simple tool, I used disposable chopstick!!! Details to follow
These are adorable! I didn’t know about this technique till date, you made me to look for it on google. Anyways congratulations on another beautiful craft.
I don’t know what else I’ll do to save earth. I’m saving water by using mugs instead of tap for little jobs. Saving electricity by using CFLs instead of Tubelights and bulbs. Take printouts only if absolutely required. Not putting my laptop on “hibernate” or “standby” mode. I’m not using any plastic bags at all and carry a bag with me whenever go out. Four of use(my 3 colleagues and me) are pooling a car for commuting to office.I think all of us can contribute in saving earth by doing so many little things instead of hoping to do one big thing.
Atleast all of us are now aware about global warming and are contributing in order to get rid of it. Congratulations to all who are helping in saving our EARTH!
You are doing very well to save the Earth…. I truly believe that we will make it if everyone of us contribute our passion in this matter
The coasters are very nice.
About saving the earth, your craft that make use of old t-shirts are great idea – things such as t-shirt yarn and t-shirt recycle bags.
I’m also your fan on facebook
Thank you! Hope you will save up the old T-shirts and start to make some crafts from them.
Please leave a comment at the FB page (as written on the T&C)
Oh fun, a giveaway, let me try my luck ^_^
love the past-present-future concept of the coasters. Happy 2010 btw!
Good Luck!!! Happy 2010 to you too!
I love the coasters. What a creative idea! And you did so well for your first try. As for saving the earth – I think everyone needs to do a bunch of little things and it would greatly improve things. Put recyclables in your bin, carry a reusable shopping bag with you, for us crafty people – reconstruct old or second hand clothing into something new and beautiful!
Thank you!!! Absolutely agree with you!!!
OMG! those are so gorgeous.
Thank you
Hi! I’m the author of “Hook, Loop, & Lock” and I have to say I am so impressed with the coasters! Great color choice too. Please don’t enter me in the contest someone else deserves to win but I do want to say that locker hooking is the perfect craft for recycling. I checked out your blog and saw that you made t-shirt yarn. I used t-shirt strips to locker hook a bangle bracelet–so much fun! I’ve also used recycled silk. You can download a free pattern on my color crazy website. Love your blog and your creative designs. You can find “hook, loop, & lock” on Facebook.
Theresa
Oh my goodness!!! I am so glad that you left a comment here! You boost my confident in this craft!
I love your design and will try out the bangle soon
Very Cool I like to save the bubble envi things I get and my boss gets and reuse them when I sell books on Amazon Like that it saves money and saves the earth a little
I saved up that as well, it is great for packing! Light weight and shock absorbent!!!
Awesome giveaway! The coasters are wonderful, I love the colors you chose. I had never heard of locker hook crafting before reading your blog. Very interesting. I think I’m going to have to learn more. Thanks again for the great giveaway!
Tutorial coming soon!!! Hope you will like it
Hi, love the coasters!! can i request for six so i can fill up my tables hehe.. to save our nature, first and foremost, i try to reduce the amount of plastic bags, where possible i will use the bag or using tupperware to pack my food..
my facebook id: wan amira.. thanks
Errr…. I have only 4 to giveaway!!! Ok, if you win, I will supply the materials for another 2 pieces so that you can make them to 6 pieces hee hee hee…
Our state government implements “no plastic bags” day, 3 days out of a week, which is a very good approach!!!
I love the set of 4 coasters-I recycle as much as I can and have reduced my buying by reusing products I all ready have
Thumbs up for you, Vicki!!!!

Those are so cute and nice! I love the green and brown! You are a VERY talented woman!
Thank you so much! Green represent “green the Earth” and brown represent the Earth.
So, the coasters are in the “Green The Earth” color theme!
These are cool and I like the colour combo. I don’t think I’d put wet glasses on it if I win them! Too pretty!
The coasters are so cute! This is your 1st trial in doing locker hook crafts, but the results are so wonderful, you are very talented… (Please give the coasters to me ya……… wink*** wink***)
I’m taking my part in saving this earth by reusing my old baju kurung and turned it into a colorful bed sheet, making a makeup case & tote bag from my soft jeans and using my old t-shirts as cotton rags. . (I’m adore your t-shirt yarn, but still don’t have any idea to use it.. as I’m too lazy in knitting.. hohoooo…)
I’m also a great mommy that cloth diapering my daughter.. hehee.. I believe that we need to reuse & recycle as much as we can. Save our Earth for our next generations, and save our pocket money also.. ;p Thanks to give me great ideas in how to do more!
Those are so cute, clever you! I tore some fabric into strips from my stash that had been hanging around for years and knitted it on large needles and made myself a funky bath mat! Use up your stash, that’s my tip for saving the planet!
Love the coasters Joanne and would love to win them!
Can’t wait for the tutorial so I can try to create something with my daughter (maybe jewellery) – just learning to knit at the moment.
I’m trying to help save the Earth by teaching my daughter to appreciate its value. Not to waste food and clothing, we also recycle all her clothing either in charity shops or by passing them on (she growing at the speed of light it seems).
We take our own bags to the supermarket and turn off lights etc we are not using. I also got the council to place the large recycling bins on my close (so everyone has the opportunity and no excuse)after they told me there were NO recycling collection in my area!
I’m also creating a website for my college course for a producer of recycled and natural toys – it is fictional at the moment but I am looking for someone to give it away to – so if you know of anyone please let me know (it will have up to 5 pages with a link to my portfolio).
All the best
Beautiful! I would love to win these. Very nice coasters, especially for your first attempt.
