Glass SLIPPERS – not GLASS Slippers like you might wear or have worn

Having a party? Do you prefer that your guests wouldn’t put their wineglasses on your tables without a coaster? If you answered yes, then this fast project is for you.

Requirements:

– Batting: one 4 inch square of cotton/poly blend
– Fabric: five 4 inch squares, 3 of one print, 2 of a second print
– Note: If your wineglasses have large bases, you will want to use larger squares.

Instructions:

1. Fold two squares of each print in half, wrong-sides together. Press.
2. Place the remaining fabric square right-side up on the batting square, and align the raw edges.

3. As the fabric pieces in the photos are difficult to identify, the graphic above shows the sequential placement of the folded fabric triangles. For the sample with two triangles of each fabric, the odd numbered pieces are from one fabric and the even numbered pieces are from the other fabric. Lay the first three pieces down in order, rotating the pieces as illustrated. Slide the fourth piece under the exposed half of piece number one as indicated by the arrow.

4. Align all the raw edges and pin as needed.
5. Sew a ¼: seam allowance around the square.
6. Trim off the corners.

7. Turn the slipper right side out.

8. Slip in the base of your wineglass.

Now that you know how fast and easy these are to make, why not make up some for your use and some more for gifts.
