CHRISTMAS HOT PADS


I wanted to make a little something to add to the gifts we are sending to our children for Christmas (hope they don't peek!). I came across this great You Tube video showing how to make easy pot holders. I decided to make them smaller than she showed on the video (hers are 10"...mine are 8" unfinished) because I thought they would be useful as hot pads.  This fabric is called Ready, Set, Snow and I thought is would be perfect for Christmas and everyday, too, since these four prints don't scream "Christmas".  To help make it 'heat resistant' you use a special insulated lining...I used 'Insul-Bright', which can be found at Joann's. I like how they came out so I'm planning on making more.
