- 4- 8" 1x3 boards
- 8- 8'' old crib slats (that is what I used, but you could substitute another similar size wood approx ¼'' thick and 1'' wide)
- Dap Rapid Fuse (super awesomely amazing super glue)
- Finishing materials of your choice
- miter saw to cut wood and sandpaper

Mindi, These are awesome! I had to pin to make later. We have nothing nice for the holidays or when friends come over! Love!!

Wow. They look wonderful! Love the two-tone. Great tutorial, and perfect photos 🙂 Question: how does the oil rubbed bronze spray paint stand up to the heat of the pots?
Mindi
Thank you so much Maria! That is such a great question, I haven't had any problems so far, but now that you mention it, I would totally recommend a hight heat spray paint, then it wouldn't be a worry at all! Thanks for bringing that up, I should have thought of that!
Maria
Thanks for the quick reply Mindi. I have seen the high heat spray paints, but I only recall black, maybe white as well. Will have to check out the paint section. I wonder if they make colorful high heat paints for car engines, maybe an Auto Supply store could be another source. Happy diying 🙂

Mindi,
Your trivets are so pretty (and functional) I love that you used crib slats. I have soooo many crib side rails in my stash I could make tons of these!
And I totally agree with you, I don't have a single trivet fit for company. Mine are all so old, ugly and stained.
Super tutorial, and I LOVE that you're wearing a baggie to apply the stain. LOL
