I happen to think that these clothespin trivets would make a really cool retro-style wall hanging for the kitchen! Don't you? I think they make clothespins in different sizes, too, so it would look awesome layered with smaller ones, painted in a different color. Maybe add some fun and weird trinkets with some super glue...

Do you hate to put those skillets or potts on the table because you do not want to burn them then why not make an inexpensive trivet out of clothes pins and heat resistant paint or dye. This is so super easy and very fast too. Clothes pins can be bought cheap at Wal-mart and you can make some xtras too. It would be nice to have more than on in different colors or make a decoration on it. A nice video and tutorial is just perfect for showing how to make it.

This is a very easy and functional kitchen craft. Just take apart 24 spring type clothespins and glue back together in a pleasing pattern. Instructions indicate staining the wooden pins may be better than painting them. Stains do come in a variety of colors too! This sturdy trivet will come in handy to protect counter or tabletops.

What a cute and adorable way to protect your furniture and customize your trivets. I love that they are such lively colors and that you can glue them in two different patterns to get a thicker or thinner trivet depending on what you want. I like what you did by making two of each kind. I think I would do that too, especially since you often need two for big pans.

These are just great. My friend has wooden trivets and they work the best, so this project not only would be fun to create but very practical,too! I love the bright colors too, an you could choose whatever colors work best for you or for the recipient if these are a gift! These would also,work nicely under a potted plant or a vase too! So,pretty and very creative and clever idea.... Thank you for sharing!

What a cute idea. I can always use a few extra trivets. And I know a few family members and friends who would like one too. It's so easy and inexpensive I can't believe I never thought of it myself. It's also a great project I can do with my grand daughter. They are the ones I like the best.
