Random Recast: Popsicle Sticks Day 2
Filed under: Crafts
In Random Recast, we find new uses for ordinary things. This week: Popsicle sticks. 
You can never really have enough trivets, especially if you entertain a lot. They're a bit tricky to find in the store, so it's a good thing that you can make one inexpensively. The secret? You guessed it, by using this week's Random Recast candidate, Popsicle sticks. We love how Harmonic Mama used a natural color palette in this Popsicle stick trivet, which furthers the vintage feel. In color, it's adorably whimsical. To see the tutorial for putting the trivet together, visit The Small Object.
