Make a funky coaster or doily set from scrap fabric for an inexpensive and easy gift this Christmas. Tear thin strips of fabric, roll them up like a snake, and coil tightly into circles. Pin the strips in place and use separately as coasters, or stitch a few together for a unique doily.

I think they forgot to say 'and sew ' behind 'Pin the strips in place', don't you?

could crochet those strips, too...
