FINISHING:
Cut your tail and weave in your ends.
Leave as-is or block by soaking your coaster in water for 10
minutes, pressing out the excess moisture with a towel and
pinning into place on cardboard. Allow to dry!
If you prefer your coaster stiff, you can spray with laundry
starch.
I hope you enjoyed the pattern and that you lovvvvvve
using your new fancy flower coasters!
