If you have any paper, you can sew it onto a card. If you just want to finish off the edges, either satin stitch or bind it in red or white. I don't know why it would need anything else- I love it the way it is, it is beautiful!!! I am making my DH a mug rug- you could turn it into one of those if you wanted... or frame it in one of the frames that is glass on both sides, later after you can get out.
