With another swap under my belt, it’s time to concentrate on my last one of the holiday season – the Christmas Stocking Swap. I’ve gone back to my new favorite book
Holiday coasters!
The one thing I wish I had done is used a higher loft batting for these – or at least doubled up what I already had, they need a bit more poof to them, IMHO. Otherwise, these cuties were pretty quick to put together, although I did have some difficulty stuffing the batting inside the coaster pockets. I’ve bundled them together and topped it off with a holiday mug and a package of hot chocolate. I may keep this gift in mind for teacher gifts – Taylor has enough of them this year!

That’s a super lovely swap!
The coasters look great and would be nice teacher gifts. We stopped giving most teacher gifts when the kids entered multi-teacher levels, though. The teachers can deal with only so many teacher- themed gifts, haha.
(Although, more than one teacher over the years mentioned that gifts of pretty stationary and note cards are good because they write so many thank-you notes and other notes to parents! Even pretty stamps are welcome. It would be fun and easy to make a fabric-covered box or file to enclose such paper gifts, too.
Another teacher loved getting food gifts because she had no time to bake at the holidys for her own gatherings!)
Super cute Stacy – you’re so darn crafty girl!!!
Cute goodies!
