i first came across tufting when a product designer tweeted about her making a series of rugs out of asian snacks and i just fell in love with them

it wasn’t until searching on Etsy for tufting kits that I realised there is a “friendlier version” of it called needle punching (lol, i sound like a boomer) and people sometimes make cup coasters with this technique. it seems like the main difference between tufting and needle punching is that tufting is done with a tufting gun, so it’s easier to make a big rug

i just ordered a mini kit for needle punching. it feels like a really good constraint to be working within; the canvas is small but the possibilities are quite endless. best of luck to me for making coasters for myself and friends!
