Holiday Coaster Beading Pattern

Learn how to make these beautiful and festive beaded holiday coasters that look gorgeous as sparkly coffee table decor that you can use to decorate your home during the winter and holiday season. They also make thoughtful and impressive handmade gifts that your friends and family will cherish forever. Make your coaster in red and green (or cream and silver) for beautiful and elegant poinsettias or white and blue for wintery snowflakes. Due to their beaded texture, these coasters are water permeable; that means they're great for hot drinks, but caution should be used with any drinks that sweat or condensate.  If in doubt, you can put a cocktail napkin under your drink (on top of the coaster). The napkin absorbs the moisture, and the beads act as a barrier to keep the damp napkin off the table.
