25 Days of Christmas Gifts – DIY Celtic Knot Cord Trivet – Day 1

I don’t post nearly enough craft posts.  Probably because I’m not incredibly “crafty” myself – but I do have good intentions.  I decided I’d source 25 easy and fast crafty gift ideas for the holiday season – one each day until christmas!

I’m not necessarily going to get all of these done myself – if I do – I will certainly post pics and pros and cons on my projects – but really this is about sourcing and providing tips to all of you!

Here goes – Day 1 of 25 Days of Christmas Crafts and Gifts!

I love this Celtic Knot Cord Trivet from Inspiration & Realisation.  Such a cute idea and it’s supremely inexpensive – all you need to buy is one 50′ bundle of corded clothes line (not the vinyl coated kind -the fabric cord kind).  You could very likely use craft cord in various colors, or even para-cord.  Using clothes line is an inexpensive way to go for a quick craft.

They also have a tutorial for coasters to match.  These would look so pretty on your table with or without linens!
