If you are looking to give the perfect wedding gift, you can do it in style with the stenciled trivets I found over on Design*Sponge. Get out the spray paint and con-tact paper!

Derek and Lauren are back from vacation and decided to take a trip to the hardware store, where they purchased some 6" x 6" white tiles normally used in a kitchen or bathroom for a mere 45 cents each. To make the stenciled tiles, they printed the flower design directly onto the con-tact paper, applied the paper to the tile, and then cut out the design with an x-acto knife. A couple coats of spray paint and four rubber pads on the back of the tile completed the project.

I really think the trivets would really make a blushing bride happy. For that matter, I think they would make an awesome gift for anyone that loves to cook, me included. My husband is the artist in the family, so I think I should have him make some for me and his mom. Who would you make the lovely trivets for?
