I bought these cork coasters from Muji the other day, and I felt immediately inspired! Ornaments, gift tags, pictures frames…but, with Christmas crafts being my main focus here, I stuck with the ornament theme. The options are literally endless, but I wanted to use the cork as the material calls for…to be poked.

So first I did this really easy one with colored brads from Oriental Trading. (I’m obsessed with colored brads, but I rarely actually use them to fasten two things together.) So simple!

And the stitched snowflake one took a bit more time, but I printed out a line drawing of a snowflake and chose points to stitch. I then marked up the coaster with a pen where I would insert the needle and went to town. More detail to come (including a pattern)…I promise!
