              Optional: Blocking Your Heart Coasters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              To give your heart coasters a polished look, block them<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Dampen your finished coaster slightly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Pin it to a blocking mat, shaping the heart curves and point.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Let it dry completely (overnight is best).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                This helps maintain the shape and gives your gift a professional touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
