Trim the edges of the circle as desired. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
  • Use pinking shears to trim the edges of the circle.
  • Zigzag the edge of the circle and apply narrow lace or trim to the edges.
  • If you have a serger, use the rolled hem feature to finish the edges.
  • Leave the top plain or be creative. Small appliqués or embroidery can be added to the center of the circle to really personalize the gift.
