Spiced Trivet
Add the scent of cinnamon and cloves to your dining room table this holiday season with this dual purpose trivet.
Materials:
- Two 10 inches by 12 ¼ inches pieces of fabric, one with a fall/Thanksgiving theme and the other with a winter/Christmas theme.
- 1 1/3 yards lace which looks nice on both sides.
- Thread in coordinating colors
- 24 long cinnamon sticks
- ½ lb whole cloves
Directions:
- Sew lace to the edges of the right side of one piece of fabric.
- Place two fabrics right side together and sew both short sides and one long side.
- Turn right side out and mark three lines evenly spaced.
- From right side sew on each line to stitch channels in the fabric perpendicular to the open long side.
- Fill channels with cinnamon sticks and cloves.
- Hand stitch the final side closed.
- When sealed gently crush the cinnamon sticks so the trivet lies flat.
- When you place a hot dish on the trivet the room will fill with the aroma of cinnamon and cloves. This is especially delicious when serving holiday pies!
