diy project: leather & wood trivets

diy project: leather & wood trivets:

Around this time last year, Grace, Amy and I went to check out the “McMasterpieces” show curated by Sight Unseen as part of NY Design Week. We loved these pieces by Alissia Melka-Teichroew; they not only inspired one of our projects for last year’s summer newspaper, but they’ve been haunting me ever since. I love the look of the brightly colored dowels and thin strips of leather, so I decided to make another Alissia-inspired project today: these simple wood and leather trivets. I’ve had a bright tangerine/lavender color combination running through my head this spring, and I was delighted to find the perfect navy blue leather cord to finish off the look. You can make these pretty trivets in just a couple hours, and they will look as pretty on your wall as they will protecting your table. Happy crafting! — Kate
