I made the stone hot pad (one the right)! I found it on Pinterest (the one on the left.) and it was a lot harder than just gluing stones to felt.

You see, felt absorbs the liquid super glue and it leaks through to whatever surface is underneath it. Luckily, mine was a magazine. When I do this again, this is how I will:

You will need a sheet of cork, 2 sheets of felt (I used black patterned felt so the bottom looked cool, too.), a bag of polished stones/large pebbles (I got mine from Michael’s.), and a lot of super glue gel.

I used a big pot top to trace a circle onto the felt and cork.

Glue the felt to the top and bottom of the cork.
I used super glue GEL. It does not leak through as much. I super glued the rocks to the felt and then I super glued in between the rocks so they were glued to each other, as well.  

This is going to be my Christmas present for my Big Mama (grandmother)! I am going to make a little smaller one to go with it. :) Enjoy!
