handmade holiday :: plaid desk set for dad

start with plaid flannel shirts.

photocopy.

{expect a few raised eyebrows at the copy store.}

cut to fit a large empty can
& hot glue in place.

{we also glued circles of felt to the bottoms & insides of our cans}

trace can with dressmakers chalk 
onto four thicknesses of flannel.

sew along line & cut to trim.

{it's a coaster!}

extra credit:

use a fancy button-making machine

to make a matching button magnet

to hold a note on the can.
