Hello My Friends!
I am sharing with you today my first Christmas Gift of the year.
These are Hot Pads from the Dollar Store after they got a little makeover.
Are they fun or what?
They would make a great gift, they are super affordable and very easy to make.
They sell the Hot Pads in many colors so you can really custom make them to your like
to coordinate even the colors of your own kitchen. This is what you are looking for.
Here is a quick tutorial that I previously shared over at The Idea Room with Amy’s readers.
These Hot Pads in the tutorial have more of a Fall look.
Let me show you what I did!
MATERIALS
You don’t need much.
1 Hot Pad Glove
Square Hot Pads
{ You can find them at the Dollar Store. The squares hot pads comes in a set of two }
1/4 Yard of Fabric of your choice.
{ I found mine at Jo-Anns, but you can use a fabric scrap if you have some around }
Buttons
{ My buttons came from Wal-Mart }
TUTORIAL
This was so easy and quick to make.
FIRST cut a strip of fabric long enough to cover the width of your glove.
I cut mine 4 inches wide.
Fold the fabric in half and then fold the unfinished top again about half an inch.
Just like the picture.
I like to use my iron to make every fold perfect and crisp.
SECOND
Use one of the square hot pad as a mold to cut another piece of fabric.
You are going to use this fabric to make a pocket.
After you cut the fabric fold the ends of it.
Iron it.
Turn it around and sew it to the hot pad.
If you are adding the trim make sure you sew it before
you attach the pocket to the Hot Pad.
THIRD do the same thing with the strip sewing it around the top of the glove and
attach the buttons in place…They are so cute!
And you are done!
These would make a great gift for neighbors or the lucky one hosting Thanksgiving this year.
I am giving mine as a gift to a good friend of mine
with our favorite delicious Pumpkin Bread.
Delicious!
