We all seem to accumulate potholders, I know I have to old trusty's that I use and a few others that just sit in the drawer. So what to do with them. Mmmmm head down to the local op shop and buy everything they have, I got all of these for about 10 cents each. Even the mitts will come in handy. And come hoome and rustle up a fashionable kitchen accessory from them. Want to make this a bit bigger so will have to find some more holders
10 - 15 potholders
sewing machine
scissors
Remove any loops and tags from potholders. Cut stitching on oven mitts to seperate into two seperate pieces. Now arrange your potholders in a pleasing design, you can choose to do them in rows or layer them on top of each other as I have. Just a note here, take care when layering that sewing areas are not to thick. When placing mitts it is better to have them in a middle position of the mat sew that all edges are sewn down, alternativly you can bind the edges for a neater look. The more holders the bigger the mat. Would look great down in kids face washers for a bathroom mat.
