I designed the Changing Seasons Coasters because I love to decorate my home for the different seasons. Fall is my favorite time of year. I love seeing all tree leaves change colors and the different fall flowers! You can decorate your end tables, coffee tables, and use them on your dining room table to add a festive touch for any season. There are 2 versions of the coaster inside this post that you can make again and again for all seasons.
