Make It In a Day: Stylish Coasters

Annie’s is part of the third-generation Muselman family business, founded in 1925 and long known for original craft designs including crochet, knitting, card making, paper crafts, beading, sewing, quilting and needlework. Annie’s books are sold through independent retailers and major chain stores worldwide.

Handmade touches are one of the quickest ways to truly make a house feel like a home, but if you're short on time then traditional blankets and bedspreads may not be an easy fix. These colourful coasters are just the thing, from pretty fruit shapes and sweet lace to star-shaped designs and an adorable sheep. Several designs also come with a basket pattern for easy tidy-up ideas, and a set would make a great housewarming gift for a special friend or family member.
