3. Sew Handy Kitchen Pot Holders and Trivets
With a bit of sewing, you can convert old dish towels into pot holders and trivets. Cut the towels into squares or rectangles, about 8×8 inches, and layer two or three pieces together for added thickness and protection. Sew around the edges, leaving a small opening to insert additional padding if needed, then stitch the opening closed.
These DIY pot holders and trivets are perfect for handling hot pots and pans or protecting your countertops and tables from heat damage. Customize them with a loop for hanging, and you’ll have a practical addition to your kitchen.
