I use my bowl holders in the microwave all the time but I am sure they are all cotton. I am planning to put some in a gift shop. I thought I would charge $8 but I will have to time myself first. I have made several but used for gifts. The gift shop will charge another 30% so we will see how that goes.

I bought the only size bag they had in the store a few weeks ago at Walmart for $4.98 and it was a small bag with a yard or so of wrap n zap.

I really appreciate all the info you ladies are providing. These bowls aren't big in our area yet, so I am thinking I may do well selling a few. Going to have to go through my thread stash and find some that is 100% cotton, so I don't set somebody's house on fire!

I have made & sold close to 100 of these. I charge $8.00 each or two for $15.00. I started out just making them for family gifting & when their friends saw them, they ended up ordering from me. Have never had a complaint from anyone.

I don't think you would make much by selling them for $5. However, I'm not sure how much one would pay for them.....I suppose it depends on the size? I might pay $9.99 for a larger one that I could use for a larger bowl. No way could I afford $30 for six individual bowls.....and besides, you wouldn't make much either.......LOL!
