Filtpom-pom-trivet, håndlavet

The little pom poms give it such a playful texture, and it’s held up perfectly through a whole week of hot casserole dishes without any scorch marks. My countertop finally feels protected and looks way cuter than a plain cork mat.

It’s not often a trivet makes me smile, but these felted pom poms do just that every time I set a hot pot on it. The multi-toned colors brighten up my kitchen counter, and the soft wool texture protects the table without scratching.

I was a little worried the pom poms would flatten out, but they’ve held their shape after weeks of hot mugs and serving dishes. The felt texture is genuinely soft to the touch, and it keeps my wooden table safe without sliding around. Nice pop of color for the kitchen, too.
