Heat trivet is a very common thing and often used in everyday life.
I offer you to make unusual cup trivet of fabric in the form of a mouse. I think this is very important, because a mouse or rat is a symbol of next year and it's time to think about souvenirs for friends and acquaintances :)
Trivets are made from various things, but I think, fabric ones are the coziest :) It is not necessary to have new fabric, the beauty of such a thing is that they can be made even from the fabric leftovers.

To create such a trivet you will need:

- fabric leftovers, preferably cotton, calico;

- sintepon;

- holofiber;

- acrylic paint;

- lace, twine;

- bead;

- sewing machine, scissors, glue.

Hope you like my idea :)
