DIY French Label Trivet Hot Pad

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

This weekend I finished up this super useful and easy DIY French Label Trivet Hot Pad project. (Longest post title ever!)

I saw this beautiful Vintage French Cafe Printable at the Graphics Fairy and was inspired to make a large cork backed trivet to protect my table from the heat of large bowls and platters of hot food. 

I only have small round trivets which I have to double or triple up for large platters...this large rectangular trivet will be a lot more practical!

Supplies:

1 cork backed placemat - Dollar Tree


Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Primer spray paint in Bright White

1 Black Sharpie ultra fine point

1 pencil


Black and White photocopy of these 2 printables:

Graphics Fairy the French Cafe Printable

Graphics Fairy the French Wreath with Bee Printable

Tutorial:

- Spray paint front of placemat.  I used 2 coats.  Let dry.

- On the reverse side of each photocopied printable, (the blank side), shade the area of the graphic with pencil.  This will create a transfer of the graphic.  You can see in this pic where I shaded the area where the words and lines are:

- Center French Cafe Printable printable on placemat so that the pencil shaded-in side is in contact with the top spray painted side of the placemat.

- With pencil trace the outlines of the graphic and lettering to transfer it onto placemat.

- I also added 2 of the leaf images from the French Wreath with Bee graphic.

- After images are transfered fill in the graphics with the black Sharpie marker.

That's it you are done! 

With my Adams Pattern English Ironstone Platter:

Isn't it amazing what you can make with a dollar store placemat and a Sharpie?
