Important Safety Information
For the functional hot-pad version, use only heat-appropriate natural cotton materials. Do not use acrylic yarn, plastic safety eyes, glue, synthetic felt or other meltable components.

The embroidered cotton eye is recommended for the heat-safe version. Always test the completed trivet’s thickness and heat resistance before regular use. Do not use it while wet, and remember that prolonged contact with extremely hot cookware may transfer heat.

This project is a trivet or surface protector and is not an oven mitt or certified protective equipment.
