Pot Holder Scissors Keeper EASY Craft Project
Last week I picked up several new pot holders at my local Dollar Tree for .50 cents to $1.00 each. They had over a dozen new designs to choose from. You can use inexpensive pot holders in your craft projects like this easy-to-make Pot Holder Scissors Keeper. I was able to make 10 of them in less than 1 hour.

I plan on giving these as little gifts to the ladies in my knitting group. While I was at the Dollar Tree I picked up 10 pairs of scissors to go along with them. You guessed it, each one was only a $1.00. The “Dollar Types of Stores” are great sources for inexpensive craft supplies.
Pot Holder Scissors Keeper EASY Craft Project
1 Square Pot Holder with Hanging Loop
1 Pair of Scissors
Hot Glue Gun with Glue Sticks
Plug-in your hot glue gun and let it heat up. You want the glue to be hot and ready-to-go. Once glue is ready fold your hot pad into a cone shape as shown in my photograph. You want the hanging loop at the top.
Apply hot glue along one edge and glue those two edges together, overlapping them. Press down onto the seam to get a good bond of the fabric with the glue. If needed, use clothespins to hold it together until the glue has dried. Insert the scissors.
You can hang these pot holder scissor keepers up in your kitchen off a cabinet knob, a magnetized hook on the side of your refrigerator, on a hook inside a cabinet door, off a peg rack, etc. They’re great hanging up in your craft room, home office and we like to “gift them” to my great-granddaughter’s school teachers every year.
They’re inexpensive to make and you can make a lot of them in one afternoon. Total cost for the one shown in the photograph $2.10 plus tax (ten cents for the glue stick). During the holiday season you can pick-up Christmas and Holiday theme’d hot pads at the Dollar Tree and use them for Secret Santa Gifts.
