The basic procedure is simple, you just have to insert the beads in a thin chord. There is a certain count depending on the size of your product or how fine your prefer it to be. Materials in making bead products like: beads, handle, fabrics, zipper and chord can be bought from Divisoria mall.

How to Make Pot Holders (kitchen rags) from old recycled clothes

If your problem is a bulk of remnants of cloth in your drawer and you can do nothing with them than stock them and let occupy o lot of space in your home, then this project could be a solution to your problem, the DIY craft procedure on How to Make Pot Holders. Our kitchen is where moms are most of the time. As I always say "my favorite hang-out". Did you ever experience running out of pot holder in your kitchen? Pot holder seems to be nothing, but it plays a very important role in our kitchen when doing our kitchen chores...it protects our hands from heat and dirt. Pot holder is our hands' best-friend!
Now I want to show you how to make a pot holder or kitchen rags using used old clothes and remnants of cloth. This one is another way to recycle waste materials like used old clothing or remnants of cloth.
These are the materials I used with this project:

used clothing, cut into squares

remnants of cloth






The procedure in making pot holders is very simple when you know how to stitch.

Step 1: You see our remnants of cloth above (white) I laid over the three layers and sew it, I attached the two parts of the printed cloth together and sew it to form a square. This will be the top of our pot holder.

Step 2: Cut a 2 inch thick cloth, the length should be equal to the size of our square-cut used cloth.This will serve as our edging.

Step 3: Sew the 2 inch, long cloth to our square-cut used cloth like this.

Step 4: This is the back of our pot holder. We have to fold the edges to prevent it from ripping.

Step 6: Sew the edges of our pot holder.

This is the result following the procedures 1-6

And this is the back of our pot holder

Step 7: Now let's put a holder so we can hang our pot holder.

Step 8: Sew it again in "X" directions.

This is our finished product.

This project can benefit plain house-wives by minimizing the wastes and a bulk of remnants and by saving money buying rugs. It can also benefit house wives seeking business idea to earn an extra income by making pot-holders and selling them to the market.I hope I made this tutorial on how to make a pot holder clear and helpful because I really want to share and help moms like me to simply manage wastes properly and make a living out of the garbage.
