🧱 Firmness Tips (for Flat Coasters + Stiff Basket)
- Coasters: After finishing, cut matching circle of plastic canvas or stiff felt, sew or glue inside before weaving ends. This keeps them flat and firm.
- Basket:
- Crochet tightly (use smaller hook if needed).
- Line sides with stiff felt or plastic sheet cut to size.
- Alternatively, brush inside with diluted PVA/fabric glue, let dry overnight.
Your adorable Fox Coaster Set with Basket is now ready! The sleepy foxes will bring coziness to any table, while the sturdy basket keeps everything neatly in place. Perfect for autumn, woodland-themed decor, or as a handmade gift for someone special.
