Create a Christmas trivet from an inexpensive tile and a recycled Christmas card or wrapping paper. It can be displayed on an easel when not in use. Makes a great Christmas gift along with an inexpensive easel!
Editor's Note: This project was received too late for Christmas, but we decided to publish it anyway as you could modify it's seasonality by the type of card or wrapping paper you use.

Thank you for this idea, I have Cards from my mother of Christmas past but the one from 2020 was my last for she passed away April 1 2021 & I would like to preserve this. Gonna try this idea for the last Birthday card too she sent me just before she passed.
