DIY FELT BALL TRIVET
/
Another trivet! This one is a little more labor intensive, but I love the outcome. And this DIY is actually two for one! Make your own felted balls and a trivet. Lucky you! See the whole colorful tutorial here.
WISH LISTED

Happy Wednesday! Per usual, here are some things I can't quite do without. Whales hold a special place in my heart, and we "need" a bottle opener...
DIY SCALLOPED PILLOWCASE
/
I had some plain white pillowcases, and thought "Elliott could use a cute pillowcase" So made him one, I did. It's a basic freezer paper project, but instead of doing something intricate and hand cramping, I did scallops! Elliott thinks they are "like water" but I love them. So much.
Freezer paper
Fabric Paint
Foam Brush
Scissors
- I love mine! Pen
Something to trace a circle (a jar in my case)
Plain Pillowcase
Tear off a section of freezer paper the same length as the pillow case and use the jar to trace half circles close together to get the scallop look.
Cut out the scallops and position on your pillowcase, make sure it lines up well with the seam in the pillowcase. Don't want it looking all wonky once it has the pillow in it!
Iron on the freezer paper really well. Again, make sure it's all lined up.
Paint! I only did one coat on mine, but depending on the color of the case and the paint, you may want to do more. Allow it to dry and you're done!
I think he likes it.
DIY PATTERNED CORK TRIVETS
/
In my experience, cute and affordable trivets can be hard to come by. I have been using the same yard sale olive green trivets our entire marriage. Might not sound that bad, but they were. Trust me. So to remedy that, I made these cork trivets! They were super cheap and really easy to decorate. I might start making them to give to people as house warming gifts along with a yummy "welcome to the neighborhood!" dinner. You can check out the whole tutorial here on Momtastic. Enjoy!
