  • Cut the template pieces from felt. For all of the coasters you'll need 2 of the largest circle.
    For our kiwi coaster we've used brown felt for the base, green for the smaller circle, and cream for the small center.

Step 3: Sew the fruit details

  • Begin by placing the small circle in the center of the green one. Sew them together with embroidery floss, using a backstitch.
    To make a backstitch, bring your needle up a little ahead of your last stitch, then go back down where the previous stitch ended. Keep repeating to make a continuous line.

  • Then use the same coloured thread to sew the line details that come out from the center of the kiwi.
    Space the lines roughly 1/4 inch apart and make them varying lengths. Bring your needle under the cream felt in the center to hide that end of the line.

  • Use black embroidery floss to make the kiwi seeds, putting 1 between each line. You can make French knots or keep the stitches flat by making small "X" shapes like we did.

Step 4: Connect the larger pieces

  • Place the green circle on one of the brown circles, centering it as best you can. Use green embroidery floss to sew them together, using a backstitch.
  • Now set the kiwi on top of the other brown circle, lining up the edges nicely.
