make your own kitchen mat!

i thought it was a great idea to make your own kitchen mat. i don't LOVE this one...i am just posting it because the site gave a tutorial on how to do it (click the link above to see the tutorial), plus it got the wheels turning in my head. i think if you found some really funky fabric, this would be a fun project! it seems easy and plus it would probably be cheap enough that you could make a new one when you got bored with the current mat - and, sometimes you just can't find what you're looking for in the store!
