I found a web page about how to make your pot holders from left over squares in minutes!

Wow - really fast!

Thanks for sharing! That is so cool! My daughter made a small version with just regular batting, for stemmed glassware coasters for a 4-H project when she was in 5th grade. You just slip the bottom of the glassware inside.

Thanks so much for posting this!

That is a great idea with stem glassware!!

I have seen that same method used to make coasters as well, obviously using smaller pieces of fabric and batting.

Very clever and fast! Thanks for posting it!

Nice. Thanks for sharing

That is a great link!! I love it.Thank you for sharing.

Love it!

Wow - criss cross coasters a la potholder!
Very cool idea. I think I might need to make some :)

Cool. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Woo Hoo I love this. Gifts! Gifts!

Thanks!

Wow, thanks! Great last minute gifts.

Thanks That was fast!!! :XD:

Yep, first thing I thought of was over sized coasters. But I make my coasters round now so I don't fret with the corners. Hmm, could do the same for the pot holder. Needs a tab too! And I wish I could turn myself on to fast forward like she did. LOL.. But it took her eight minutes to make so no matter what it was fast for sure!

very clever, thanks!

Thanks for the idea and link!

I have made the smaller version for coasters and given them away as christmas gifts. You can make them so one side is a different holliday than the other side.

Thanks for posting! Can't wait to try it.

That's great...would make great hostess gifts and you can never have too many for yourself...Thanks for sharing.

I feel like an idiot, but how do I get the directions for these pot holders?? I went through all the sign up for this group, but I can't get the directions using this link. Pls help!

Hello, I made some of these neat potholders awhile ago. They make nice gifts, and are so quick, besides being able to use up fabric on hand. I posted some pictures back in Nov. 23, 09. I think you can find them under my posts, if you would like to see them... Marcine :)

it looks so easy! does she just use ordinary batting?

Perhaps there is some kind of block on my computer. All I get with this link is the title, but nowhere to click to get the directions.

Copy the whole link and put it into your Address bar at the top of the page, and hit Enter and it should take you to the page.

Thanks toomuchFabric. It was the computer I was on. It wouldn't load the video. Now I've got it on my home computer. Thanks for taking the time to try to help me!!

Good to go!

This is going to the top of my Christmas list - thanks for sharing

One question.....what size seam does she use?

Appreciate your help

Judy

When I made it, I used 3/8 seam which is pretty close to the edge.

Thanks Deanna - will give it a try

Can anyone explain how I would put in a tab to hang up the potholder?

Thanks for sharing....will make for special little gifts!

That is so cool! Christmas gifts definitely!

Looks easy enough to make some for xmas.

That is like the Criss Cross Coasters I made last year for Christmas. Thanks so much for this video, I am going to be making some of these for sure! Really great idea!

VERY cool. Thanks.
