DIY Design Trivet

So, do you have any of those boring cork mats you use as your trivets? There is an easy DIY solution to make those mats beautiful! I saw this idea on Pinterest, and I finally decided to try it! However, the original post only showed the felt and stones, but I found it was way too flimsy, so I decided to add the cork mat for support, and it was a winner!

First, here are what you'll need for supplies:



















Felt, any color-I went with black















Your boring cork mat

















Any design rocks of your choice (I got mine from Michael's; you'll want to be sure they're relatively flat)















Definitely want some scissors to cut your felt















Hot glue gun with some glue sticks

Once you've got all your supplies, its easy peasy!

First, cut your felt to match the shape of the mat you are covering, then hot glue the felt to the mat.
Begin hot gluing the stones to the felt.
See the pictures below to see final results!
