- Experiment with Yarn Weights: Using a finer yarn can create delicate, doily-like coasters, while thicker yarn makes them sturdier.
- Crochet in Sets: These coasters are most charming when created in coordinating sets. Experiment with different color combinations to suit various moods or seasons.
Creative Uses for Your Lotus Coaster
Beyond their obvious use as coasters, these little beauties can serve many purposes:
- Mini Doilies: Use them as decorative elements on side tables or dressers.
- Jar Toppers: Place them atop mason jars for a boho-chic look.
- Wall Art: Frame a set of lotus coasters for unique, handmade wall décor.
