Tutorial: Braided fabric coaster or pot holder

July 18, 2013 by Anne Weaver

CapturelkDolly Creates shows how to make a braided fabric coaster or pot holder.  The process is the same whether you make the coaster or the pot holder.  The only difference is the lengths of fabric you’ll need.  It’s a good use of strips of scrap fabric, or perhaps fabrics you don’t like as much since the braid shows the colors but not the print.  Go to her blog for the tute.
