 Our Mini Chalk Mats were designed for the 4x4 hoop.

Each little chalk mat is made completely in one hooping with no other stitching required!  A built in little pocket in the back is sized perfectly for a piece of chalk and a scrap of felt for an eraser.

Mini Chalk Mats are extremely quick to stitch and perfect for when you need multiples of an easy to sew treat!

 Mini Chalk Mats make an inexpensive party favor!

They are also a great gift topper in place of a gift tag.  Simply write your To: From: message directly on the chalk mat!

Each Mini Chalk Mat only has 6 color changes.
