New Life for Old Tapestry, Crock Pads

Crock Pads
 


   We've been collecting crocks for a long time, and have always had problems with them getting bumped or scooted, and scratching the hardwood floors.
   I've been trying to think of a way to remedy this.  I was going to cut up throw rugs, and make pads, but, most of them were too thick.
   Today I thought about an old tapestry I purchased a few months back.  It was woven tightly and worked very well.
   I simply cut circles, various sizes for different crocks, and ironed them out.
   What a relief, no more scratches on the floor, when someone bumps into a crock.  I planned to sew edging around the outer edge, but, it was woven so tightly, I didn't have to.  No rocket science with this project, but, these little crock pads will serve a good purpose.

Have a Blessed Day,
Trisha
