Snowflakes Coasters Crochet Pattern
Let’s keep the momentum of holiday crafting going!!! Here is another Christmas crochet project for table setting, a set of Snowflakes Coasters, perfect for the upcoming festive celebration. You may have already seen the “sneak preview” of them in the Poinsettia Napkin Ring, here is the pattern and tutorial to make yours today!
If you don’t need another coaster, the snowflake itself is self-contained. Just crochet it, then stiffen it with fabric stiffener to uphold the shape, decorate onto anything you want, for example, as an ornament and hang it on your Christmas tree or twig branches; decorate on a featured wall, Christmas card, gift wrap; make a garland out of them, etc…
Besides these small ornaments, blow it up by crocheting with heavier yarn to make a bigger snowflake!!! Sew it on a pillow, fabric tote, wooly pullover, jacket, etc; or, frame it up as a picture for the holiday; or, make a coaster’s similar project – placemat or trivet, etc… You name it!!!
[Update: I crochet it to embellish my Burlap Christmas Stocking and also as a decoration on the hat of the Christmas Gnome, the snowflake really boost the overall appearance.]
All you need to crochet these beautiful snowflakes coasters are some cotton lace thread, I used double strands of DMC Pearl Cotton Ball size 8, in White, a crochet hook, red felt, and lastly, glue to glue it on the felt. You will need about 15 minutes to make the first snowflakes, however, the timing will improve as you work on the subsequent pieces.
Oh yeah, if you need more blink-blink on your snowflakes, you may add some glitters in the fabric stiffener before brushing it to the snowflakes or sprinkle on it after the brushing.
Hope you enjoy crochet some for this Christmas! More Christmas crafts to come 🙂
