DIY Corkboard Thanksgiving Trivets
All you need is some regular old paper, a Sharpie marker, some sharp scissors, and some patterns. Â The original instructions said to cut them out with a craft knife, but we found it was much easier to just use scissors.
Oh, and of course corkboards, you are going to want to go pick some of those up too. Â They often come in a pack of 3 or 4 at just about any craft store.
First, cut out the patterns and lay them onto the corkboard.
Next you will want to trace along the edges with a permanent marker, any color will work.  When you use the trivets you can set them on your table Sharpie-side down so no unsightly lines show.
Then pull out your scissors and cut along the lines.  Just like you learned in school. 😉
AND within minutes you will see your leaf start to take shape!
There you have it.  That’s all there is to it!  You now have trivets ready and waiting to adorn your Thanksgiving table.  It makes my mouth water just thinking about it.  How about you?  Thanksgiving will be here before we know it!  Lucky for us, you’ll still have time to do this simple project before the big day!
Here are the original patterns designed by my sister-in-law. Â Feel free to download, and print your own copies to trace!
