Sarubobo patchwork cloth and coasters

I made some sarubobo in this weekend.

I put four of them on the patchwork cloth what I made in the same way as my patchwork furoshiki.
They holds four corners so you can use it to cover something. So I made the cloth smaller than my usual furoshiki.

And I put other four sarubobo on my patchworks coasters.

I put elastic on their hands to keep the coasters. They can stand with coasters (* v *).

I wanted to put something in their hands.

And today, I sold my 300th item on ETSY.
I feel happy so I made a petit gift for her and put it in the package.
I knew she got some Japanese fabrics from other shops (from her feedbacks), so I put some Japanese fabrics. And I put my sarubobo in it (* v *).
I hope she likes them.

And this is my favorite sarubobo made with Nordic flower printed cotton.
They have a button flower (* v *).

    You could make a cloth napkin set with sarubobo napkin rings! How cute! I love the little dolls :)

    You work is so beautiful! I saw you from one pretty thing. Have you thought about making a mobile with your sarubobo? Have you ever found your chili beans? Wish I could get some to you somehow!

    Hello golonghorns,
    Thank you very much for your idea! I've made two hanging objects with sarubobo, but think more.
    I sometimes cook chili beans, but they don't come out like what I ate in the U.S. Maybe mine is too light.
