Are you tired of using the same old coasters that don’t add any personality to your home décor? Why not create your own hooked rug coasters? Not only are they functional, but they can also add a cozy touch to your living space. In this guide, we’ll show you how to make hooked rug coasters in a few easy steps.
Materials
Before starting, gather the following materials:
- Rug hooking frame
- Linen or burlap fabric
- Wool yarn in various colors
- Rug hook or latch hook
- Scissors
- Marker or pen
Step 1: Prepping the Fabric
The first step is to cut your linen or burlap fabric into the desired size for your coasters. We recommend a size of at least 4 inches by 4 inches. Once cut, mark a small dot in the center of the fabric with your marker or pen.
Step 2: Prepping the Yarn
Next, cut your wool yarn into small pieces that are about 3 inches long. Make sure to have a variety of colors to create a unique design.
Step 3: Hooking the Yarn
Secure your fabric onto the rug hooking frame and start hooking the yarn onto the fabric. Begin by hooking the yarn through the small dot in the center of the fabric and pulling it up. Make sure to hook the yarn tightly to avoid any gaps.
Step 4: Creating the Design
Continue hooking the yarn onto the fabric, gradually creating your desired design. You can create stripes, polka dots, or even a floral design. Let your creativity flow!
Step 5: Finishing Touches
Once you have completed your design, trim any excess yarn with your scissors. You can also add a backing to your coaster to make it more durable. Simply cut a piece of felt or fabric to the same size as your coaster and glue it to the back.
Conclusion
Creating your own hooked rug coasters is a fun and easy way to add a personalized touch to your home décor. With just a few materials and some creativity, you can make a set of coasters that are not only functional but also stylish. So, grab your rug hooking frame and start creating!
