NOTE(s)

Tumbler coasters add greatly to the attractiveness of a table. This pattern is a neat example of a coaster which is very simple to make.

This coaster measures 3 inches in diameter, and stands one inch high.

To stiffen, dip with sugar water made in the proportion of 1 spoonful of sugar to 2 spoonfuls of water and pull into shape over a form; a glass of anything the desired size will do.
