This Star Trivet is So Easy to Make
Adjust the Size for Other Uses!
Create a beautiful trivet for your table from this easy star hexagon. It’s a super simple project that goes together quickly.
Choose two fabrics in colors you love, one for the star and the other for the outside frame and backing. The backing is turned to the front to create the binding so a third fabric could be used for the backing to accent the outside edge.
We played in Photoshop to see the trivet in other colors. Any color theme produces a beautiful trivet.
The star appears when folded triangles of fabric are affixed to each side of the hexagon. Cotton batting and Insul-Bright provide heatproofing.
In the instructions from Raewyn of Stitching Farm Girl, an 8 1/2″ hexagon is used as the base (which is approximately the finished size). However, you can make your trivet whatever size you want. Small ones will be lovely coasters, while large ones can be place mats.
You can use a hexagon template you already have or create one in various sizes with the PDF found here from Kati of From The Blue Chair.
