Below is a quick DIY on egg warmers/chocolate egg holders, that turn into a glass coaster and napkin ring. The idea was to make them look like egg flowers before the are disassembled- I made 25 of them for a girls dinner and used them as a centrepiece- I forgot to take photos so you have to imagine the splendor of the evening. The centrepiece also became the party favour as they could take a couple home as an Easter treat.
This project was all about using up my stash of fabric SCRAPS- no purchase was made for this project - however I did eat into my felt stash. Hand on heart everything else came out of the scrap bag - so the whole look is RUSTIC....... and imperfect - as some fabric might not be quite square etc
TOOLS
2 x 13cm squares of light cotton fabric
1 x strip of felt 17.5cm x4cm felt
1x strip of slightly larger roughly cup fabric
1x small centre strip of contrasting fabric optional
Assemble napkin ring - I them top stitched around the upper edge of the felt and zig zagged around the centre scrap of fabric
Right side facing - sew strip together
For the coaster simply place fabric squares - right side facing - and sew. Leave an opening to turn inside out - using a chop stick gently push out corners and top stitch around the square.
The coaster requires lightweight fabric so you place egg in the centre of coaster and assemble into the napkin ring to create a egg flower/warmer.
Hope this is clear - Ing
oh my you have been busy - they are very cute - I love that apple fabric
