FINISHING TOUCHES
Add more details to your coaster! Take your #2 weight yarn and your darning needle then sew lines around the center of the flower to mimic stamens or filaments.
OPTIONAL: If you are bothered by the untidy look of the stitches on the wrong side of the coaster, make the underside look neater by attaching the coaster (use fabric glue!) to a piece of felt cut in the shape of the flower you chose to make.
This set of coasters is perfect for personal use or even for gifting! It’s so easy to complete, you can even make batches as a giveaway or springtime party favours!
