SUNFLOWER COASTERS

These beautiful and bright sunflower coasters have an entire post dedicated to them! You can see how I made them in my Sunflower Crochet Coasters Post

Sunflower coasters are also available in my shop, visit my shop Happy Knots and Loops to have a look at them.

I tried another Sunflower Coaster from Tonya at nanascraftyhome.com.

I preferred the look of the first pattern, but if you like this one, go ahead and try it out.

TULIP COASTERS

Tulips are such beautiful flowers. While browsing Pinterest, I came across these gorgeous Tulip Coasters by Golden Lucy Crafts. I just had to make them as they instantly caught my eye!

This is a paid pattern and definitely worth every dollar spent. Olena from Golden Lucy Crafts has written the pattern very well and her step-by-step pictures are very helpful.

If you would like to get this pattern visit Golden Lucy Crafts on Etsy.

Check out her other patterns too while you are there, she has a great collection of patterns!

PUFF COASTERS

This Coaster as it says is simple and looks farmhouse chic! You can find the free pattern at SigoniMacaroni.com

She has a super helpful video too on how to make these coasters.

BOHO HEXAGON COASTER

These coasters are really cute. The hexagon shape and the tassels make it quite different from other coasters. They are one of the easiest coasters to make.

Find the free pattern on TrulyCrochet.com

This pattern was also part of my blog post on Red, White, and Blue Independence Day Coasters.

DARCIE MUG RUGS

I love the texture and look of these mug rugs. They are so functional and look great anywhere in your home. These rugs can be used not only for mugs but for candles, plant pots, trinket trays., etc.

The free pattern is by Amanda from LoveandStitch.com.

Amanda has beautiful patterns on her blog, do check them out while you are there.

These mug rugs were part of another blog post of mine, 5 Useful Crochet Projects

HEXIE LOVE COASTERS

The pattern for these coasters is a chart I found on Pinterest.

Of course, these hexagons can be joined together to make many things but I decided to just make them into a set of coasters.

MANDALA COASTERS

These mandala coasters are simple and beautiful. The free pattern is by Ling at HookedonPatterns.com

Ling has used a different color for each row and they look really great! I tried them with a variegated yarn that I had in my stash.

CANDY FLOWER COASTERS

This is a free pattern by redagapeblog.com. You can find the pin here.

For some reason I am not able to link the pattern itself, please visit the blog and search for the coaster pattern if you would like to try it out.

DAISY FLOWER COASTERS

How pretty are these coasters? I just love these and they are quite easy to make. This is a free pattern by Heather of hayhaycrochet.com

Beginner Friendly Daisy Flower Coaster

She also has a video tutorial which is always helpful if you are a beginner.

SIMPLE COASTERS

This coaster is made using a crochet diagram that I found here on Pinterest. For this coaster set, I used a size 5 thread in Blue.

However, this can be made using cotton yarn, your coaster would be bigger depending on the size of the yarn and hook.

BONUS PATTERN! OMBRE COASTERS

I really loved the look of these coasters, that’s why I am including them as a bonus! The pattern is from Marinke, you can find her free pattern here.

I used cotton yarn from Hobby Lobby for these coasters.

Crochet Car Coasters

January 23, 2022 No Comments

Crochet car coasters are easy to make and solve a very common problem – messy cup holders!

They line the cup holders and keep them clean, and since they are made from cotton yarn, they are washable and reusable.

These cup holders need just a little yarn and can be made in no time! So go ahead and make yourself some.

These coasters measure 3.2 inches in diameter.

These coasters are available in my Etsy shop in case you do not know how to crochet. Or if you just do not feel like making them yourself!

Click here to go to my shop.

What are the supplies for making these Crochet Car Coasters?

Cotton yarn

Crochet hook 4.5mm

Scissors

Yarn needle

Here are my Amazon picks for this project:

(Disclaimer: These are affiliate links, which means if you buy any of these recommended products, I will receive a small commission from Amazon at no extra cost to you. Please know that I only recommend products that I know to be of great quality. Thank you so much for your support!)

How do you make these Crochet Car Coasters?

I followed this pattern from the blog lifeawayfromtheofficechair.com

I found that it was too small so I added one more row.

For the last row, chain one, single crochet in next stitch, chain one, single crochet in next stitch. Do this all around and finish with a slip stitch into the first chain. Finish off.

Cut the yarn and use the yarn needle to weave in the ends of the yarn.

That’s it your coaster is ready! Now make one more and you can use them in your car!

Notes:

I suggest you measure your car cup holder size before starting so that you can adjust the coaster accordingly.

Nearly every car cup holder is slightly different.

Weave the ends in well so that they do not come out when you wash the cup holders.

I recommend hand washing and laying flat to dry.

If you do try making these please tag me on Instagram @lovetostayhomeblog, I would love to see them!

Crochet Christmas Star Coasters

December 19, 2021 No Comments

Crochet Christmas star coasters are very simple to make. Use them on your tabletops, desks, side tables, etc. they are very versatile and can be used for cups, small pots, candles, or little trinkets.

I love changing out my coasters for different seasons! It’s fun to keep changing out your decor every few months, it does make a difference. Coasters are the one thing that are so easy to make and can be customized to any color, shape, and style.

They are made with 100% cotton yarn and can be washed. They make great gifts too!

A set of 4 coasters can be made in under an hour. You can get about 10 coasters from one skein of yarn. Spray them with starch to stiffen them but it’s not necessary.

What do you need to make these Crochet Christmas Star Coasters?

100%cotton yarn

Crochet hook size 5mm

Scissors

Yarn needle

Here are my Amazon picks for this project:

(Disclaimer: These are affiliate links, which means if you buy any of these recommended products, I will receive a small commission from Amazon at no extra cost to you. Please know that I only recommend products that I know to be of great quality. Thank you so much for your support!)

How do you make these Crochet Christmas Star Coasters?

I followed a diagram pattern to make these coasters. You can find it here on Pinterest.

Just make the coaster as shown. Next, using the yarn needle, weave the ends of the yarn at the back of the coaster and cut off the excess.

That’s it your coaster is ready!

Notes:

You could use a 4.5mm crochet hook as well.

To weave in the ends, with a yarn needle weave the thread in opposite directions to secure.

I used stiffen quick to stiffen the coasters, but as I mentioned before it is not necessary.

If you need to wash the coasters, I recommend hand washing them and laying them flat to dry. Reshape them and spray some starch if needed.

I used neutral colors so they can be used all year long, but you could use red, green, white to give them the Christmas look!

Hope you will try these out and if you do, please share on Instagram with me @lovetostayhomeblog, I would be happy to see your creations!

If you would like to buy these coasters, they are available in my shop, you can find them here.

Macrame

Easy Macrame Coasters

October 21, 2021 No Comments

These easy Macrame coasters will be a beautiful addition to your home, no matter what style your home is decorated in. They are simple yet stylish!

They can be used for many different things not just your tea or coffee cups! Use them for keeping your candles, vases, plants, etc.

You can customize the size just by using longer cords. So the size is up to you and what you need it for.

They are really easy to do as the entire piece is just square knots. Even though it is simple, it does take a while to do. It took me about an hour or so to make one. But the end result is so worth it! Don’t you think? 😊

You can make this even if you are a beginner. If you do not know Macrame, it is a very easy craft/hobby to learn. If you are interested in picking up a new hobby, do read this post – 10 Fun Hobbies to do at Home

Here are my YouTube recommendations if you want to learn the basics of Macrame:

Soulful Notions – 7 must know Macrame Knots

Macrame School – There are lots of videos for beginners and beyond!

Gray Wonders – 5 most important Macrame Knots

Marching North – 11 Basic Macrame Knots for Beginners

Rox Shana – 8 basic Macrame Knots

All these above Youtube channels are the ones that helped me learn the basics. They are my go-to channels as their content and patterns are amazing for beginners and beyond! Thank you to all of them for sharing their knowledge and talent with us!

WHAT SUPPLIES DO YOU NEED TO MAKE THESE EASY MACRAME COASTERS?

3mm or 4mm cotton cord – I used 3 mm as that is what I had. (As I mentioned in my macrame keychains post, the cord is from Ganxxet.com, they have very high quality recycled cotton cord)

Scissors

Brush

(My scissors and brush are from missknottiemacrame)

That’s it!!

Here are my Amazon picks for this Project:

HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE EASY MACRAME COASTERS?

I followed this step by step tutorial from here:isabellastrambio.com

Please visit her website to get a step-by-step tutorial for this Macrame Coaster.

The things that I did differently were:

I used 3 mm cotton cords not string.

In her coaster, she did 11 rows, but in mine, I made 13 rows of square knots.

As I said earlier, you can customize the size of the coaster to your needs.

Notes:

You can leave the fringes short or long. I cut the cords first and then brush them out, and then trim them again.

Spray some water on the ends of the cords, and that makes it easier to cut your fringes.

Use a good pet brush or macrame brush for your projects.

I used packaging tape instead of painter’s tape on both ends of the holding cord.

If you try it out, let me know how it turns out, I love hearing from you.

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed this post!

Please do check out my other post on these cute macrame keychains.

I am learning a lot of macrame and am so happy to share my experiences with all of you!

UPDATE: I am happy to share that these Macrame Coasters are now available in my new shop – HappyKnotsandLoops.

Independence Day Crochet Coasters

June 30, 2021 No Comments

Let these Independence Day Crochet Coasters be the stars at your next 4th of July party! I decided to do a post with the colors of the American Flag as it is going to be the 4th of July this weekend over here in America. For those of you who don’t know it is America’s Independence Day Celebration.

Independence Day is usually a time when families get together on the long weekend, have barbecues and outdoor fun!

So while you are entertaining, why not entertain in style using these coasters. They are always useful, indoor or outdoor.

All these 3 coasters are free patterns and are very easy to make. You can actually make all 3 sets in a day if you have about 5 hours to spare!

They really do work up very fast. It is preferable to make them in cotton yarn, as they are washable and can be used again and again.

You get beautiful colors, so you don’t have to restrict yourself to just one color, you can make sets in different colors and use them for different occasions.

What supplies do you need for these Independence Day Coasters?

Cotton yarn – Lily Sugar n Cream cotton yarn or Knit Picks Dishie Cotton Yarn

Crochet hook – The size of hook that you use will be mentioned in the pattern or on the yarn label.

Aluminum Crochet Hooks

Boye Crochet Hooks

Embroidery scissors

Yarn needle

( The above links are affiliate links, meaning I will get a small commission from Amazon, if you wish to purchase these products using the above links. Please know that I only recommend products that I use or know to be of good quality. Thankyou for your support.)

How do you make these Independence Day Coasters?

Blue Mandala Coaster

This pattern is by Ling at Hooked on Patterns. The crochet stitches used are just chains and double crochets. The pattern is written changing colors for ev ery round, but I just stuck to one color.

White Hexagon Coaster

This hexagon coaster pattern is by Clare at Truly Crochet. Again this pattern uses only chains and double crochet’s. It is really simple and the tassels make it look so cute! I added 4 rows instead of 3.

Red Flat Circle Coaster

This is a very simple pattern as well, it is from Catherine at Lullaby Lodge. I made the first pattern using just chains and double crochets. This is a pattern showing us how to make a flat circle. So you can actually make it big or small. Make it bigger and it can be used as a trivet. Use cotton yarn as it tolerates high heat and can be washed. The yarn I used is acrylic as that is what I had. I am actually using mine underneath a vase.

Hope you enjoyed reading about these red, white, and blue Coasters. Do try them out as they are very easy to make.

If you do not know how to crochet and would like to learn, check out these posts. I have included links to lots of resources that can help you like youtube videos, helpful articles, etc.
