The size of coasters is about 10x11cm.

Having knitted a sheet in a circle, knit a twig. For this knit chain of 7 VP, then 6 PP, starting with the second VP of the Hook. We connect a twig with a leaf of S.P. to the first C/-T. b/N Obvoki.
Hide the tails on the reverse side of the leaf.
Iron the leaf from the wrong side with the steam without the pressure of the irons.
At this point, you can stop now. But I decided to give the leaf a more plausible appearance, slightly podpodobku it. To do this, we need any paint for textiles and spray. I had only acrylic paint on silk "batik" from Decola. We're moving into the bath. Spray and remove to dry. My bath).
