Add fringe

Cut four 6” long strands to attach one strand to each corner. Fold 1 strand in half, hold the coaster with back facing you and insert hook in corner and pull strand through. Insert both tails of the strand through the loop, pull tightly to secure. Thread both tails through the wooden bead and tie a knot to hold the bead on. Unravel the fringe, by “combing” your needle through the strands then trim to about 1” long.
