' Doll sized coasters!

doll sized coasters made from ironing beads in scandinavian style.


Hello! Happy Friday!

Last project in our Scandinavian month - let´s use some of these ironing beads again and make little itty bitty coasters for a doll and toy tea time! Jamie loves to throw tea parties for her dolls and teddy bears almost daily, so we figured it´s about time to have some lovely little coasters for her tea time "guests". Pattern wise I went with a simple flower - fully inspired by all the cross stitch goodness that comes from Scandinavia! I kept doodling until  I found a shape I liked so there you go - a small rose flower for making tiny coasters.
We also made some simple round coasters that remind me a lot of colored chocolate candies.




Here you can see the pattern for the flower!


It is really easy actually. Simply take your ironing beads, put them on your plastic models in whatever design you fancy. Once you are happy with it place baking paper over it (very carefully to not destroy your work!) and iron on the highest setting for a few seconds. You can stop once you notice that the beads start to slightly melt. It really only takes a few seconds so keep watching what you do!



No proper tea party without cake, right?!





Have a wonderful weekend!
