Coasters for Teachers

There's always that end of year 'it's nearly the holidays, what can I get the teachers?' question. I don't bother with the nursery because there's so many teachers there, but I like to give a little something for the primary school teachers.

Came up with these, got the picture from a cross stitch mag and charted the letters. Got a box of Thorntons chocs to go with them, I thought it was nice to have a bit of a personal touch :)






Edited to add: I don't know why the bottom pic is sideways, it was the right way round in the file when I uploaded it :-s

Coasters

Little gifts I made for friends, more of my keyrings and my first attempt at cross stitch coasters.

Coasters came from ebay, the prices are all much the same.

Calendar Coasters

Honestly - the number of craft ideas I pick up on MSE!!

Some of these are made from covered beer mats, the smaller ones from chipboard rectangles. I do prefer the bigger ones, although there is more work involved in them.

The purple one is my favourite - I think I will have to keep one of those ones for myself!

Going to order another 30 calendars and make up some more this week.
