have you ever wanted to make your own
coasters but you weren't too sure how
well I am going to actually show you how
to finish them and embellish your
coasters And don't worry don't worry I
do have a really great tutorial on where
to get started And I'm going to make
sure that it's at the end of this
recording
So I have this very special coaster in
front of me and I I was trying to be Oh
gosh let's just admit it I was trying to
be clever I was trying to do a technique
that I wasn't really sure of with the
fibers here but I do feel like it worked
out And now that I look at it even
closer this is my waves Okay so I kind
of got like a theme going on and you'll
see exactly what I'm referring to in a
moment So I'm going to go ahead and
bring in my
Atte Liberty glue gun And I don't know
if you can tell but this particular yarn
it's really really soft And um the let's
see how would you describe it it's not
really coarse And I would say that the
yarn has a very like pliable like do you
see over here where it's kind of like
it's
spreading So in other words what I'm
trying to say is that it's delicate And
so what I want to do is I want to go in
with my glue gun And just very carefully
I'm going to give these knots on the
side a little bit of some glue And I got
to be careful because I don't want my
glue and my yarn to all become one big
family
there So you're just going to kind of
let it drop and you're going to let it
go away So I'm feeling good about that
And then I'm just going to check these
other areas Okay So let's let's make
some magic happen real quick Let's go
ahead and we're going to turn we're
going to turn this over where I'm going
to bring my scissors
in and I'm going to just clip this off
of the loom This is a mediumsiz weaving
loom by the
way And I'm just going to get this off
of
here
Whoops Come on
now It wants to
stay Okay so here Oh my gosh You know
when the back side of your project looks
as as ma as amazing as your front side
it's like really hard right that's the
back side Kind of cool All right So what
I'm going to do let's see if this magic
works sometime Oh it's going to work So
what I'm doing is I'm just pulling the
warps So the top of our project is going
to be easy peasy pumpkin squeezy I'm
just pulling those very
carefully And let's just do that And
we're gonna come over here and we're
gonna pull that one down And I don't
know that we're going to be able to No
that one Well we'll bring it down like
that Oh that's just perfect And then
we're going to give it a
little nip And you know for for giggles
I'm going to come in with my glue gun
very ever so lightly and just give that
like a little bit of a touch And then
down
here what can we do to make this easy
okay let's just do like a simple
knot So we'll tie these warp threads
together And again um if you've never
made these or maybe you've never even
used a loom before don't worry I've got
some really great coaster making
tutorials that I'm going to share with
you And if you've already made them then
I know you've been waiting patiently for
this video
And so my um my glue gun my cordless
glue gun Can you believe it man took a
while but man I'm so excited that we
finally have a cordless glue gun You
know how hard it was back in the day to
find a plug i mean come on
now So we ADTE has really made our life
so much better All right what do we
think i think that's pretty good What's
going on with this guy just want to make
sure Let's give him a little dab All
right And then I'll probably go back
and and I will like cut that So we're
going to go ahead We could do a couple
things here because I'm going to back
this I'm going to back it with the
denim So could we just like lay these
guys in here i think we might be able to
And then we'll just like our ends will
have like a nice finished look Or are
those going to be too short i don't know
You know what I could do this is what I
could do I could say "Hey I'm going to
give
you something I'm going to get you to
stay up there." Let's see All right
Right on Okay that's good That's a good
idea All this is going to be covered so
don't don't be over there losing your
Cheerios right now And we're going to
bring this one in Okay And I do think
Okay Let's see Let's see Am I way
too because I think what I want to do is
I want to back this and then I want to
go trim it So let's bring this back off
Make sure that all these guys are tucked
in there Oh my gosh What if we Okay this
is this could be fun Like what if you
wrote a
message what if you wrote a message and
you put it on the back side of the
coaster and you like hid it in here
would that not be so cool okay let me
get in the camera Um this is what I'm
going to do That would be a lot of fun
Okay All right So we're just going to
come
down And we're going to come down
again Okay And you can see that I'm not
going all the way over because I could
tell that I cut my denim just a little
too
much Okay And then I'm going to do
crisscross
Really i'm kind of like giving it a lot
because I got all this yarn All right
let let's see where we go with that Okay
so we're going to bring this back
in and we're going to fold it really
carefully We're just going to make like
this little sandwich and we're going to
push
down All right we're going to push down
and in And we're going to flip it over
And yeah so I definitely have some
trimming to do But isn't that And then
you know what we can come in here and we
can get Let's see Do I need a better Oh
and okay Can we peek can we still peek a
little okay so this is what I was
thinking What if you took one of your
markers right what if you took a marker
and you like wrote on the inside of your
fabric or I mean not for nothing you
could write on a piece of paper and like
stick it in there I don't know I love
things like that I love little
secrets And um I don't know That could
be fun That could be a lot of fun All
right we got to let this bad boy heat
up
Okay And then we're just going to push
down All righty And then let's bring
let's bring the scissors
in Okay Okay And we're going to I think
I'm going to do the corners
first Okay And then I could see like the
sides are a little too
much And I definitely need to get a
little bit closer with the
glue So we'll do that here in a second
Hey guess what did you see my video on
making really cool
buttons if you have it I'll tag that one
as well But look at the strips of denim
Don't throw these away because you're
going to need these for that really cool
button project that I did I'll make sure
that's at the end of this video Okay
let's stay focused
Jules Um where was I okay we got another
corner over here
So all right I'm going to let that I'm
going to let that one sit for a hot
minute and I'm going to speak to some
other ones that I made that I just think
are really fun as well So let me bring
that in and I'll just let you take a
good look at that Oh my
goodness I I mean come on now I wish I
had I wish I had like I don't know a
mermaid A mermaid button Can we get a
mermaid button we need a mermaid button
Then wouldn't that be pretty like the
mermaid could be like swimming in the
coaster That would be really cool Okay
let's push this one to the side And I
want to tell you about a couple other
ones that I made Here are just some that
are simple simple weaves right no gluing
just weaving a lot of tying But the
great thing is that you can come in with
your glue gun if you felt like you
needed to give your knots a little extra
support And so those are really great
And then check this one out This one I
also used the um Atte essential glue gun
on And so I strung those beads up onto
those warp threads Put a little bit of
that glue on And look at how nice and
secure they are And I even did that up
here with the top bead So this one
obviously is for I mean let's just be
honest I think it's for a wine
glass I'm pretty sure it's for a wine
glass And what's it called when the wine
glass doesn't have a stem is it simply
called a
stemless wine glass i'm not sure but I
think that's what it is Okay So the
other
um Oh here we go Magic It's the magic of
TV The magic of videotaping Here's a
glass Oh my goodness Look at how pretty
that
is Look at how you I mean just imagine
making a bunch of these like for gifts
right you could do like a bunch of these
coasters with the beads and make them
for gifts for the holidays for any day
for any day Cuz I don't know good glass
of cold Chardonnay is always delish
right put your glass on there You could
even buy that special person in your
life a six-ack of glasses I think there
are some specialty stores where you can
pick those things up for like eight
bucks now right so that's all good And
what I wanted to show you over here was
how I made these
smaller
coasters And I love this Look at this
material So I use this really funky yarn
and I get it at um one of the major
craft stores Isn't that neat and then I
do my warps of course with my favorite
most ever hemp cord by Hempique So look
at how pretty all of that together is
And look at the magic that it
made on the small loom right here
So I thought well this is really great I
did put some glue on the end of the
knots because I wanted to make sure
that you know it was nice and secure
This thing is actually really sturdy I
wish you could hold it in your hands Um
so I did use some of the glue on that
And what I thought would be really fun
is to um show you a project that in some
ways sometimes we
say was accidental but nothing is an
accident in crafting right okay check it
out What is it what is it tell me what
you see because I see a jelly I see a
jellyfish And so what I did was I took a
button and I glued that on And then I
looked at all the warp threads that I
would normally have just cut off right
like I did here Look at how I cut off
all the warp threads But I was like "Oh
no way This
needs this needs something else." So I
went to the dollar store and I bought
some pony beads And I thought my
jellyfish needs some pony beads
So we need to um you know adhere those
And what you can simply do
is tie a big enough knot so that they
don't fall
off And you just want that to be nice
and thick And then look at your jelly
Your jelly comes to life Isn't it so
fun so I'll just keep tying these off
And what we can do at some point is we
could just add like a little
dab of
glue Picking the color beads of course
is going to be Oh hey you know what i'm
not even sharing the pony bead love with
you Let me bring that in Wow that was
awfully
selfish Okay let's do this
And yeah again we're just
making some big knots so that the pony
beads have a little like I I want them
to be like you know like they would be
in the water right they would they would
they would be fluid I think that's like
the the word of the day I hear that word
a lot Just be fluid
Okay So we're going to do a little bit
more And yeah just take your time Have
fun with it Maybe maybe this is where
you're you've got like a little uh
partner who can string these on for you
Okay What color haven't I used the pink
Let's go with the
pink And
got these great little pieces here We're
just keeping
it
So okay let's just get a couple more I
don't know if I want to go with the red
Let's paint Let's Oh orange Orange
Orange Okay Obviously I'm a big kid but
come on now This would be fun if you had
the little you know not too little but
um great project for for your helper
Let's go back to the purple
now And we're just going to get that
on And we got one more So we'll go back
to the blue This is like a jewel blue
pony bead Oh my gosh so much fun
So of course these are just some wild
you know and funky ideas that I just you
know I was having fun making all these
coasters and then it was like "Wow cool
Oh my goodness Can we Can we go through
the ocean what's the proper Look at that
Look at that I love it so
much y'all It's e It's like the little
things okay that bring happiness It's
the little things that bring happiness
Now if you wanted to you could bring in
you know bring back in your Atte um
Essential Liberty glue gun and you could
give it you know like a little a little
dab
And we'll just get one right up there
too I don't know I kind of like I kind
of like how they're just fluid There's
