Make A Classy Copper Kitchen Trivet

Copper tiles come in many different designs.


Copper accents will give your home an old-world elegance that enhances any decor, and a copper trivet is one accent that is as functional as it is decorative. Trivets protect your dining room table from hot dishes and add a lovely decorative touch. You can make a classy copper kitchen trivet in a short amount of time and with only a few supplies. Trivets make lovely gifts for friends and relatives on birthdays and holidays or thoughtful housewarming and wedding gifts.


Instructions


1. Choose a copper tile pattern. Copper tiles are available at home supply and hardware stores. They come in many designs from smooth finishes to patterns that look like punched tin.


2. Place newspapers under the tile to catch any excess spray, and spray a clear coating sealant on the copper if you do not want it to change colors as it ages. The sealant is available at paint stores or stores that sell copper tiles.


3. Allow the copper tile to dry thoroughly according to the sealant directions.


4. Turn the copper tile face down onto some newspapers. Glue a marble to each corner to act as the legs.
