Plastic Canvas Coasters

I wanted some coasters (the ones I have always go missing) and I love working with plastic canvas! So here is the outcome. I also love Ancient Egypt so that became the inspiration for my designs.

Step 1: What You Need

Supplies:
2 or 3 different colors of yarn (I used two different for each, use three if you want the border a different color)
Plastic Canvas needle for size 7 canvas
Size 7 canvas cut into squares of 20 by 20 (I found precut, packaged squares this size)
Drawer Liner
Sissors

To attach Drawer Liner:
Hot glue gun or
Needle and thread

I would suggest the hot glue gun, or other type of glue, (not Elmer's)  if you can. It was much easier than the needle and thread (Thread looks nicer with felt).

I know. I learned back in Middle school summer school. Can't remember why I picked it up again, but I enjoy doing it!

The two stitches you talk about look the same on the front but on the back one has long diagonal stitches and the other short vertical or horizontal stitches. the diagonal may use more yarn but it will fill in better and it is easier to tuck your end under on the backside. Trust me it is better using the diagonal stitch and a skein of yarn goes along way.
