felt coasters dIY Tutorial:
Step 1: Choose your felt. I’m using a mix of wool felt and craft felt from my stash and I mixed and matched colors to create a rainbow.
Step 2: Cut your shapes: Trim pieces of felt to be slightly larger than your alphabet dies, then place your felt onto the metal plate with the die facing cut side down as seen in the image below.
Run your die-cut sandwich through the Crossover 2 die cutting machine to get crisp felt die cuts!
There are many different ways how to cut felt, choose which one works best for you.
Step 3: Embroider or adhere: I used a simple running stitch to affix my felt alphabet onto a larger piece of felt. You can use an adhesive to adhere felt instead and check out the post on what is the best glue for felt? – a helpful guide when choosing adhesives
Step 4: Trim edges neatly and press flat. Now you have your set of felt coasters!

felt coasters dIY Tips:
- When using glue on felt, apply sparingly, too much glue can seep through and cause stiffness or visible marks
- If sewing by machine, choose a thread color that complements or contrasts thoughtfully. A decorative stitch adds a premium feel.
- To make them extra durable, consider lining the bottom of the coaster with a thin scrap of cork or non-slip felt.
- Mix typography with shapes: Using alphabet die-cuts makes the project more personal and gift-worthy.
