Crochet Gilded Leather Coasters

Crochet Gilded Leather Coasters are a charming addition to any home decor, blending the cozy charm of crochet with the touch of luxury from gilded leather. These coasters not only protect your furniture from unwanted water rings but also add a touch of elegance to your coffee table or kitchen counter. The intricate design and the mix of textures make them a delightful conversation starter when entertaining guests. Handcrafted with care, they bring a warm and welcoming feel to your space, making them a perfect gift for yourself or a loved one. These coasters are not just practical but also a lovely way to add a personal touch to your living space.

To get started, you’ll need:

• four leather rounds (mine are 3 1/4 inches)
• small paintbrush
• Liquid Leaf in Classic Gold (or your favorite shade)

The steps here are a bit obvious, but worth stating.

Using the small paintbrush, liberally apply the leafing fluid to the raw edge of the leather rounds. Make sure that you’re covering the edge well and getting into every nook and cranny, but that you aren’t dripping on to the top of the round.

Once you’ve gilded the entire edge, lay the round down carefully on scrap paper. The leafing fluid dries very quickly, but you don’t want to get anything smudged or smeared. Ensure that if any of the Liquid Leaf gets on your fingers you wipe it off so that you don’t transfer it to the other leather rounds.

Let dry for about one hour. Once dry, use a bit of twine to wrap up the coasters in a bundle.

To tie the coaster set to a 4 Pack of tasty Izze Sparkling Juice, I added an extra loop and a tag for a super sweet presentation.
