Faux Grain Sack Coasters

 Today I kick off our “Christmas Tidings” series along with Ann, Debbie, and Jane. This week we are bringing you projects made from vintage grain sacks or burlap, and a giveaway.  These will all be things you can make and give aways as Christmas presents, hostess gifts, teacher gifts, or keep them for yourself. 

 

Faux Grain Sack Coaster Tutorial

What you will need: Drop cloth, paint color of your choice, textile medium, paint brush or roller, painters tape, light weight batting, pins, scissors or cutting wheel, and a sewing machine.

 

I had all the materials on hand from other projects so this cost me nothing to put together.

 

I made 6 coasters so what you need for that is: 12 squares cut from pre-washed drop cloth 5″X5″, 6 squares of batting 5″X5″. I then mixed up my paint color and medium according to the directions on the bottle, and set that aside while I applied the painters tape to the squares to make the grain sack pattern (there is no wrong way to do this, just pick any pattern you choose, grain sacks are all different). Stipple on the paint mixture, leaving some areas bare of paint (you wan’t it to resemble a vintage grain sack). Let dry and heat set according to the directions on the back of the medium.

 

Assemble: drop cloth, batting, grain sack with right side facing up. Stitch around the edge with just enough seam to catch the batting to secure it in place. Wash them, following the directions on the back of the medium, and watch the edges fray giving them that vintage aged look.

 

Grain Sack Coasters

Tie a ribbon around the coasters and give as a gift. I am also including a FREE gift tag printable in a reverse grain sack effect.

    Love this project Dawn! My sister-in-law and I were just discussing how much we needed a sewing machine. Maybe Santa will bring us one and then I can create some of these! I downloaded and printed the gift tags, too!

      Jane, you are quite organized already getting your gift tags around. I have 3 machines and a serger, I love them. I bet you were a good girl this year and Santa may have on in his bag for you.

    I happen to have a dining room table with some finally finished dining room chairs, that could use a set of those coasters that might just happen to match the design I put on the chairs themselves. But no one has seen that yet, so it’s our secret.
