Picot Edged Coaster

This lovely little doily would be great combined with others like it perhaps seven put together to form a table mat. Or it can work all by itself as a coaster if backed with a piece of felt. You could also stiffen it attach a hanger as use it as a snowflake ornament.

Random Quick Tip!

Keep Your Work Area Tidy
I use a trash container or little bowl next to me in the kitchen when I am cutting up veggies, to throw out scraps. When the small container is full, or when I am done preparing, I empty the container into the trash can. You can do the same in your craft room or area. Just keep a small container next to you while you work and put your scraps of what ever you are working with, into the small bin, then when you are done, you can empty the bin into your larger trash can or recycle bin.
