Scented Cozy Coasters Embroidery Project

Gather all supplies needed and read through the instructions.

Print templates of all designs.

Press each piece of Osnabury using a sizing product.

Place template in hooped Osnaburg and mark center and run selected design.

When you have finished the embroidery, you will need to trim the blocks to 5 1/2" H x 5 1/2" W with the design centered.

For version 1, using your favorite binding technique, bind the outer edges together, start at bottom and go around leaving a space open to insert filler and spices.

Mix 3/8 cup of rice with 1/8 teaspoon each of ground nutmeg and ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon of whole cloves. You may want to add a little more rice to yours, it is ok, just don't fill them too full or the cup will not set well. Using a funnel fill the coaster with the mixture of rice and spices.

Finish binding, being careful to keep mixture away from stitching area.

For version 2, stitch embroidered square to plain square, right sides together using a 3/8" seam, leaving a small opening at the bottom.

After stitching, turn right side out and press. Using your sewing machine, select a fancy stitch if you want and edge stitch around the coaster, starting at one end of the opening and stopping at the other end. Fill the coaster as in version 1, then finish the stitching, being careful to keep mixture away from the needle area.

This is what the ones look like if you are not using binding.
