If you have a few mismatched pieces of porcelain dinnerware that you don't know what to do with, you can turn them into beautiful trivets. Take your dishes and place them in a towel. Tap on them with a hammer to smash them into pieces. Then sort the pieces:small, medium, large.

Next, pour concrete (raw or colored) into a plastic flowerpot saucer. Then place the pieces of porcelain one by one. First the big ones, then the medium ones. Finally, fill in the holes with the small pieces. Press well on each piece to flatten everything. Let dry and unmold. And There you go ! You have created a unique and original trivet :-)
