Turtle Table Rag Rug Trivet

My own original design.
This cute turtle trivet is made the same way as my rag rugs. It's made from recycled t-shirts which were purchased from my local thrift store that supports the area food banks and charities. It would be great to use under plants,or use it on your table for hot or cold items. Kids would love to use it as a placemat, save the table from those little "oops".
When not in use, you can hang it up by it's looped tail.

My Crochet Today Recycled Trivet / Pet Mat / Hot Pad

I love the way this came out. It was a lot of work, but i'm very pleased with it. 
It would be great not only as a trivet for your table, but as a pet rug for a small dog or cat.

This rug is made from recycled t-shirts which were purchased from my local thrift store that supports the area food banks and charities.The second picture shows the back of the trivet.It has a raised stitch so depending on your preference, either side can be displayed.

The t shirts where cleaned, cut into strips and then crocheted into this pretty trivet.
