How to Make Denim and Heart Coasters - Tutorial Tuesday

Today we have a project with a Valentine's Day theme to it. I always knew holding onto those old pair of jeans were going to come in handy at some point!

One piece of cotton batting, 5½" x 5½"
Red fabric scrap measuring at least 4” x 4”
Pinking shears
Glue stick. (I like this purple disappearing glue.)
