TRIVETS: REPURPOSED FROM SOLID SURFACE QUARTZ

TRIVETS

REPURPOSED FROM SOLID SURFACE QUARTZ COUNTERTOP MATERIALS....

I decided to repurpose these squares of solid surface quartz.

These were discontinued color samples, which are a perfect size for trivets...

Solid surface quartz (such as Silestone) is a composite material that is heat and microbial resistant.

The backs of the squares were rough and unpolished, so I decided to paint them, giving them a textured look, with colors to match the front. I just used a standard acrylic craft paint.

This trivet was painted with a copper acrylic paint, and I used self-stick felt pads on the corners, available at any craft or big box store....

The trivet below was painted silver, with self-stick heavy duty clear rubber bumper pads for the feet. These pads are normally used on the insides of cabinet doors.

A new use for something that was probably going to be thrown away, and that will last a very long time!!
