Tutorial: Simple and easy pot holders

Handmade gifts are the best. They show that you’ve put in the effort and thought to create something special just for the recipient. But let’s be honest, who has the time to spend hours upon hours crafting a gift? That’s why I was so excited when I discovered Cat’s Easy Peasy Potholders tutorial over at Mary Martha Mama. These potholders are the perfect blend of practicality and cute.

Cat’s tutorial shows you how to make these potholders using quilting-weight cotton and insulated batting. This means that not only do they look great, but they’ll also protect your hands from hot pans in the kitchen. The best part? You can whip up a set of these potholders in no time at all. So, whether you’re looking for a last-minute gift idea, or just want to add some new kitchen accessories to your own collection, be sure to check out Cat’s Easy Peasy Potholders tutorial.

I’ve already made a few of these potholders and they’ve been such a hit! They’re perfect for gifting to friends and family, and I’ve even received requests to make them for coworkers. They’re so simple to make that you’ll find yourself whipping up a batch every time you have a little spare time.
