Description:
The original title was Handmade Coaster and a Hot Drink that would require you to use the coaster but it was too long. For this swap you will make a coaster for your partner, it can be knitted, crochet, sewn, felt, collaged (onto a cork mat) You will also send a Hot drink ie: tea/coffee/hotchoc so your partner can use her new coaster. Easy peasy :-) I will be checking profiles.

Hi! Any ideas where I can get a cork mat from? I live in London. Cheers! :)

I think I've seen them in Hobbycraft, you could try 'googleing' it.

Can I use hotbeads? or is that too easy? - I might be able to do knitted but again it would be one colour probably lol.

@diamonddew I think Jox is correct with Hobbycraft. You might also be able to get them in Ikea or Dunelm Mill (do you have one of them near you?)

hotbeads? I don't know what they are. Do you have to make them hot to make them stick?

Erm aka hama beads they are like plastic and you iron them and then they melt together

I love Hama beads- have a sqillion coasters made of these and would happily find a home for a squillion more. They are so cheerful!

I might knit a square actually hehe. I'm working on an 8 inch square and it went squiffy - it's 10 inches along the bottom now! doh!
