You'll need a small amount of worsted weight #4 yarn - I'm using Lion Brand Pound of Love from my Yarn Crafts and Coffee Shop [https://yarncraftsandcoffee.com/produ...] in the White and Olive colorways, 7 mesh plastic canvas (a square of 4 3/8")[https://amzn.to/3qwszvb], a tapestry needle, scissors and you might find jewelry pliers [https://amzn.to/3qMPX7E] to be helpful.

Material Notes:
You can use soft or stiff plastic canvas.

If you wanted to change up the size plastic canvas, you will need to change up the number of holes to get the sizing to work so you can either measure your canvas out and cut any number of holes that is divisible by 4 plus 1, or you can start stitching first, measure as you go, and then stop when you get close to the size you’re looking for. Use a respective size tapestry needle and yarn. For size 10 mesh plastic canvas, I would recommend a #22 tapestry needle and lightweight #3 yarn, like WeCrochet Brava Sport [https://shrsl.com/39h92]. For size 5 mesh plastic canvas, I haven’t used this size for projects before but I’m thinking maybe a #14 or #16 tapestry needle and chunky weight #5 yarn, like Lion Brand Hue and Me [https://yarncraftsandcoffee.com/produ...].

Other great worsted weight yarns for plastic canvas projects are Red Heart Super Saver [https://amzn.to/49uGTW1], Lion Brand Wool Ease [https://shrsl.com/2bnl2], WeCrochet Brava [https://shrsl.com/38yuo] just to name a few. Feel free to use your favorite!

Jewelry pliers are an excellent tool to use to help weave in ends. Insert needle under the stitches, then grab the tip with the jewelry pliers and gently pull through (be careful because eye of needle or plastic canvas can break).

I am not lining mine, but for a cleaner back, you could cut and attach some felt, fabric, or cork.

Time Spent: I had my coaster ready in just under 45 minutes.

Measurements: The finished coaster is a 4 1/2″ square.
