Cut yarn and weave in ends.

Finishing and Care

• Weave in tails securely with a yarn needle. Trim excess yarn.
• To shape the coaster, gently block it by pinning to a flat surface and spritzing with water, or use a light spray starch for added stiffness. Allow to dry flat.
• Care: hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle in a mesh bag, then lay flat to dry to preserve shape.

Variations and Tips

• Make coasters in contrasting center and petal colors for a bold look, or use tonal shades for a subtle effect.
• Use cotton yarn for absorbency and heat resistance; acrylic yarns give a softer, more decorative coaster.
• Create a set as a quick gift — try different color palettes for seasonal or themed sets.
