Don't you just love the rustic theme? I'm so in love with it right now and tree prints are really stealing my heart. And that's how these cuties were born!

The problem was, once I started making them, I couldn't decide on which colors I really wanted! So, I just decided to make a mix instead. I think the dark green and white may be my favorite, but it's also Christmas time, so that could be playing a part in it!
The coasters are worked up in a simple stitch work, and then the trees are added on at the end with a needle.
Here's how to make your own:
