Buttons and More

January 9, 2023

My good friend, Julie, gifted me with button potholders for Christmas. I loved the idea and decided to make a few of my own.

I purchased the potholders from the Dollar Tree. We both used embroidery floss.

The big Mason jar of buttons belonged to my mom, and the contemporary ones are from my collection. I gave potholders, made with my mom’s buttons, to family members. They have extra special meaning because my mom passed away twenty years ago.

This is a cute addition to a potluck casserole, family gathering, banquet or any other function. The potholders are inexpensive. If left behind, it’s not a big loss.

I made four to gift with pots and pans I purchased my granddaughter for Christmas.

I plan to make these throughout the year and include them in next year’s Christmas gifts.

Thank you, Julie, for this wonderful idea.

      Deb, the potholders are inexpensive so if lost or left behind they are easily replaced. Pat

    I was gifted four and use them. A very good size for smaller hands. And Mom’s buttons make them very special! Thanks

      Bonnie, they aren’t thick and clumsy. You’re right, good for small hands.
      Thanks. Pat
