Easy Autumn Felt Trivet

I'm trying to do a better job of making our home more festive for the holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the easiest for me, but I know I could still do better. Adding a few table decorations that I can use everyday during the fall season can really help add that extra little something.

These easy felt trivets can be used by themselves for a small pot or dish. Or if you have a larger pot or casserole dish, you can toss them down together to create more area. I love throwing them down at (mostly) random  because it looks like the leaves just fell off the trees and landed that way.

All you need is a quick Google image search for leaf patterns to get started.

Once you have a leaf pattern, cut it out and trace it onto felt squares.

Cut those out. I made eight; two of each color.

Stitch around with embroidery floss and a large-eye needle. I used two different colors of floss just to give some variety.

This is an easy craft to do at night while you're watching some tv, or if your children are a little older they could help too. And the younger ones just have fun playing with the leaves when they aren't being used at the table.
