 Today I’m sharing a super quick, easy to make ‘Chalkboard Art’ hot pad to make in 15 minutes flat!

This DIY trivet has the look of ‘real’ Chalkboard art from the secret trick DIY ‘hack’ I used…. but it’s washable (no need to worry about gravy drips!) and reusable too! The print won’t disappear or fade away.

This is a great idea for last minute hostess gifts or teacher gifts too!
