January Giveaway: Felt Coasters

We've been having a bit of a clearout at home after Christmas, and one of the things we're clearing out is a set of these felt coasters:


They're lovely, but we don't really use them so they've got to go... and I thought they might tickle the fancy of some of you felt-loving folks, either just as coasters or to re-purpose for some crafty project.

The coasters are made from thick black felt, and are about 13cms (5inches) square. We've hardly used them so they're in good condition, and I think they were originally purchased from John Lewis.

One lucky winner will receive the set of 6 coasters. As always, I'm happy to ship internationally, so anyone can enter. Just leave a comment on this blog post for a chance to win! (If you're reading this on my Facebook page please click through to the original blog post to leave your comment).

Leave your comment before 10pm on Friday 21st January and
I'll pick a winner at random on Saturday 22nd January.

Please make sure you leave a name or pseudonym (no anonymous comments please!) and leave a link or email address so I can contact you, or make sure to come back to see if you got picked.

Update: this giveaway is now closed.

Alison Couchman said...

Oooh - I love these!! And I've found the picture just in time as your giveaway ends tomorrow. Your blog is on my favourites list by I don't have time to look at it as often as I'd like - I love seeing what the rest of the world is doing.
I have a ton of ideas for the coasters but most of them involve cutting them up! I'd leave one intact but would use the others for print blocks, brooches, templates, jewellery . . . . .or does wanting to chop them up automatically lessen my chance of winning? I really hope not!!!!
