Pro Tips for Success & Pinterest Styling
Yarn Selection: Always use 100% cotton yarn for coasters. Acrylic will melt if a hot mug is placed on it, and it does not absorb condensation.
Pinterest Styling: Stack 4 or 5 coasters in contrasting pastel colors, tie them together with a piece of rustic twine, and take a photo next to a warm mug. This aesthetic is highly shared on Pinterest!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use acrylic yarn for these coasters?
A: It is not recommended for hot drinks, but it works fine for cold glasses. Cotton remains the best choice.
Q: How do I make them flat?
A: If your coasters curl up, steam iron them lightly under a damp cloth (blocking) to flatten the petals.
