This year, why not surprise mom with a handmade pot holder that you crafted yourself? This pot holder Mother’s Day craft is simple enough for kids and adults alike, and the results will last for years to come.
Gather Your Supplies
In order to make the perfect pot holder for mom, you’ll need to gather up the following supplies:
- Fabric of your choice
- Iron-on adhesive fabric
- Insulated batting
- Scissors
- Iron
- Sewing machine
- Thread
Once you have all of your supplies ready, you can begin crafting your pot holder.
Cut Your Fabric
Using your scissors, cut two rectangles of fabric. The size of the rectangles will depend on the size of the pot holder you would like to make. Generally, an 8″ x 8″ rectangle is the ideal size for a pot holder. You can use a single piece of fabric for both the front and back of the pot holder, or you can use two different pieces of fabric for a more colorful look.
Iron On the Adhesive Fabric
Once you have cut your fabric to the desired size, you are ready to add the adhesive fabric. Place the adhesive fabric onto the wrong side of the fabric and then use your iron to adhere it. This will help the fabric to remain together and make the pot holder more durable.
Add the Insulated Batting
Next, add the insulated batting to the fabric. Place the batting on the wrong side of one of the pieces of fabric and then cover it with the other piece. Make sure that the pieces of fabric are facing each other in the correct orientation with the adhesive fabric inside.
Sew the Pot Holder Together
Using your sewing machine and thread, sew the edges of the fabric together. Make sure to leave a small opening along one side so that you can turn the pot holder right side out. Once you have finished sewing, turn the pot holder right side out and use your iron to press the edges flat. Sew up the opening that you left.
Gift Wrapping
Once your pot holder is finished, it’s time to wrap it up and present it to mom. You can wrap it in a simple box with some tissue paper and a bow, or you can get creative and make your own gift wrap. Either way, your mom is sure to appreciate the effort you put into creating her this special gift.
Creating a pot holder for Mother’s Day is a simple and meaningful way to show mom how much you care. And with just a few supplies and some time, you can craft a beautiful pot holder that she can use for years to come.
