Of course dabbing a bit of glue before pushing them through will prevent them falling out. and providing that the ball is large enough so that the pins do not penetrate through the other side Another alternative to add a touch of charm is you could always use pins to push through into the center of the flowers. these days you can get various pins with some pretty heads on them.

Just a guess, but the color bleeding might be due to quality of the construction of the napkins themselves. I used two different types of napkins from Target--one in black and white--and there was no bleeding at all. As far as the wrinkles go, you'll have them. I think they actually give the tiles kind of a rough hand-made texture. It's not like paper decoupage where you (usually) want to get the surfaces smooth. Did you happen to see the video of me making them? It might help; <a href="http://diymaven.com/?s=coasters" rel="nofollow">here's a link.</a> Hi Linda.
