Make your own kitchen hot pads!
These are really easy and fast, and make a great addition to any kitchen! I used macrame cord for mine, but you can use any other yarn or string. I just loved the look and sturdiness of the macrame cord, but it is a little harder to crochet with because it has very little stretch to it. Its definitely worth the extra trouble though, especially since the whole project only has 5 rounds.
I made a YouTube video for those of you who are visual learners like me. I also made a step by step tutorial that you can print out! I hope you love your new hot pads as much as me!
If you do end up trying this out, I would absolutely love to hear what you think. Comment on this post and tag me on your social media! #thetashlifecrafts
