New Practice of Green Living: DIY Tutorial for Eco friendly Tablemats and Coasters

In today's society, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, more and more people are seeking green and sustainable lifestyles. Starting from small daily tasks, such as making eco-friendly placemats and coasters, can not only add a unique charm to the dining table, but also effectively reduce the use of disposable items and reduce the burden on the earth. Today, let's get started together and use simple materials to create our own eco-friendly gadgets! Meanwhile, we recommend that you follow Yiwu Tianran Daily Necessities (located on the second floor of Gate 91 in Zone 4 of Yiwu International Trade City), where there are abundant environmentally friendly materials for you to choose from.

1、 Prepare materials

Waste fabrics or cotton and linen fabrics (recommended to use environmentally friendly fabrics provided by Yiwu Tianran Daily Necessities, safe and durable)

scissors

Needle or sewing machine (optional, depending on manual ability)

Hot melt glue gun and hot melt glue stick (used for pasting decorations)

Decorations (such as buttons, fabric strips, lace, etc., choose according to personal preferences)

Ruler or template (ensure that the size of the placemat and coaster are consistent)

2、 Making eco-friendly placemats

Step 1: Measure and cut the fabric. Determine the size of the placemat based on the size of the individual dining table. Generally speaking, squares or rectangles are more common, with dimensions of approximately 30cmx30cm or 40cmx30cm. Use a ruler or template to assist and ensure neat cutting.

Step 2: Edge processing. To prevent edge wear of the fabric, it is possible to choose to lock the edges or use a sewing machine for edge wrapping treatment. If sewn by hand, flat or back stitching can be used to ensure firm edges.

Step 3: Decorate. Use a hot melt glue gun to stick decorative items on the placemat, which can be simple cloth strips or creative button patterns, and freely express according to personal preferences.

Step 4: Complete. After the hot melt adhesive has completely cooled down, an environmentally friendly placemat that is both beautiful and practical is completed.

3、 Making eco-friendly coasters

Step 1: Similarly, measure and cut the fabric first. The size of the coaster is relatively small, usually around 10cm x 10cm or a circular shape with a diameter of 10cm. Use a circular template or bowl mouth as a reference to cut out circular fabric.

Step 2: Edge processing. Like placemats, lock or wrap the edges of the coaster to enhance durability.

Step 3: (Optional) Add insulation layer. To enhance the insulation effect of the coaster, a thin layer of cotton or discarded clothing fabric can be added between the two layers of fabric as an insulation layer, and then the edges can be sewn together.

Step 4: Decorate. Add decorative elements to the coaster according to personal preferences, such as sewing abbreviations, patterns, or attaching small cloth stickers.

Step 5: Complete. A practical and personalized eco-friendly coaster has been made.

4、 Conclusion

By DIY eco-friendly placemats and coasters, we can not only enjoy the fun of making by hand, but also contribute our own efforts to the environmental cause. These small and delicate items not only beautify the home environment, but also convey a green and sustainable lifestyle concept. In the days to come, let us continue to explore more practical ways of green living and work together to protect our beautiful home planet.
