How Do You Make Potholders With Recycled Materials?
If you have old towels, blankets, or quilts lying around, recycle them into useful items everyone uses. Potholders, if you haven’t noticed, are becoming ridiculously expensive. Every home cook uses them. And since they don’t last forever, we keep buying new ones, usually when we replace our kitchen towels. Making potholders is extremely easy, and it can produce a little bit of profit if you find the right market. They also make fun gifts that can stand alone or be added to homemade gift baskets. Get creative, add your personality and start cutting some squares, hearts, circles, roosters, even pigs and stitch them up. Homemade potholders are a great way to go green with holiday gift giving. People are looking for ways to save the environment and will appreciate the fact that you have recycled old items into something they can use and enjoy. Step 1 For each potholder, cut the front and back fabric covers, 1 layer of quilt batting, and 1 layer from an old blanket, towel or quilt. All laye
