Macrame Tea Coster (Set Of 6 Pcs)

What pattern do these coasters have?

Each coaster is knotted in diagonal ridges that run across the surface and finished with a short fringe. The diagonal lines give a neat texture under a cup, and the fringe adds a small boho touch to a tea table.

How big are they, and how many come in the set?

There are six coasters, each measuring 4 x 4, a handy size for a tea cup, coffee mug or glass. Six means you can set one out for each person at the family tea table, with the diagonal knot ridges and short fringe on show.

What else can they be used for?

Besides holding tea cups and glasses, they work as small mats under a candle, a bud vase or a small potted succulent. You can also lay one under a soap dish or a perfume bottle on a dresser.

What is the best way to clean a coaster?

When a drink spills, spot clean the coaster with a damp cloth and a little mild detergent. Avoid soaking it or putting the set in the washing machine. Let each coaster air dry completely before you use it again.

Do they make a good gift?

Yes, a set of six hand-knotted cotton coasters is an easy, useful gift for a friend who loves tea. They are made at the Indiehaat Macrame Unit in Maharashtra under master artisan Brijbala, so each one has small handmade variations.

How do I style them on a table?

Stack them in a small tray or basket on the coffee table so they are ready for guests, or set one at each place at the dining table. Their cream shade looks warm against dark wood and soft against glass or white surfaces.
