2 weeks of Thanksgiving, Day 1 ~ Trivets

Sorry I forgot to get this started last night. Been busy, busy, busy preparing for the holiday's and such. So without further ado I give you your crafts.

Thanksgiving Trivets
    Make custom Thanksgiving trivets with glass candle coasters and paper designs that you attach with decoupage glue. What you need:
    • heavy glass coaster or trivet
    • paper design
    • decoupage glue
    • felt
    • scissors





How to make it:
  1. Decide on a design. Choose a favorite image from a magazine or old calendar, highlight your favorite photo, or print out one off the web.
  2. Cut design to fit the bottom of the coaster or trivet.
  3. Attach design to the back of the trivet with decoupage glue. Tip: Choose glue that dries clear and is intended for use with paper, such as ModPodge Paper.
  4. Cut felt to fit the back of the trivet. Glue the felt to the back of the design. 
  5. Let dry and enjoy the oohs and ahhs you get.
Makes great Christmas, newlywed, housewarming, and birthday gifts.
