Boho-style Felt Trivets that Protect Your Dishes and Table in Style
The holiday season is here, and Winter weather is settling in for many of us. The cooler weather and the thoughts of upcoming celebrations lead many of us to think about sinfully scrumptious foods that warm our hearts and souls. My favorite dishes, bread stuffing, bread pudding, my Dad’s oven-baked applesauce, and green bean casserole, bring back memories of family celebrations and make me pull out my most treasured casserole dishes to begin planning. Yes, just like I pick my outfits based on what shoes I want to wear, serving dishes often dictate the holiday menu at our house. I consider myself a foodie, so the right menu is essential, but I am first and foremost a visual creative, and how a meal looks and is served is at least fifty percent of my holiday experience. I also enjoy when form and function come together beautifully, and this project ticked all those boxes.
I love to use up left-over arts, crafts, and sewing supplies, so when a slue of felt scraps began to accumulate in my studio, I made felt pads to protect my coveted casserole dishes from getting scratched when I stacked them inside each other. They looked so good I started using them at our dinner table as trivets to prevent the casserole scorching hot from the oven from damaging it.
I also think these trivets make great hostess gifts if you’re looking for perfect something everyone can use but may not already possess. They are fast and easy to make, and the people I’ve given them to love them.
Upcycle scraps of felt to create Boho-style serving trivets. They help keep casserole dishes from getting scratched during storage and protect surfaces from being scorched by the hot casserole dish when it is removed from the oven and taken to your holiday table.
