I think I'm going with the microwave bowl holders. I can't wait to try the first one.

Two inches up each side then draw a line across. She shows this part of the instructions laid out on a cutting board with measurements.

I like this idea or you could make the gift bags and get a cup from the dollar tree and put the hot cocoa packets in it with candy canes and whatever fancy's you.

I vote for the mug rug.........they would be great for either male or female and as mentioned manly type fabric, something girlish for the women. For those that do not drink coffee, but prefer soda [coke/pepsi, etc] maybe one of those non-sweat glasses or a 6 pack of their favorite soda vs a coffee cup to go with their mug rug. jmho. You didn't say how much you wanted to spend...so I'm thinking on the conservative side.

I have made & sold way over 30 microwave bowls & have an order for 6 more. I sell them for $8.00 each. I taught my DD #3 how to make them & she is selling them like hotcakes now too. She sells hers for $10.00 each with no problems. Can't understand them not selling at a craft sale unless your price was to high. The price you ask for them may depend on the area one lives in. I make mine with a 12 1/2 inch sq. Most everyone else uses a 10 1/2 in sq.

They sell here only when they are explained! Otherwise they have no idea what it is or how to use it.

Halo ...Would you show us some pics of yours please?
I keep reading about microwave bowls and understand the concept ... just can't figure out how they are made/shaped to fit an assorted size of bowls/dishes. Please? and Thanks!




Applique ... I've been thinking much the same, that with them just sitting there at a show, passersby may not know what they are.
