How to make hot pads?

Hot pad is common used in the household. Hot pad patterns I often see are made of wood, most of

which are in round shapes. Here how to make hot pads is mainly made of felt. And it is in a shape

of maple leaf.

Step 1: cut the felt maple leaf

Prepare materials and tools first in the

picture 1. Cut off the felt maple leaf as the

paper pattern you have drawn. Cut the other

two pieces in different sizes; lay them

together with the largest one at the bottom.

Cut a small strip.

Step 2: make loop to the pad

Sew two apparent lines on the strip

piece. Place the strip on the left side of

the root of the leaf; fix it with pins. Sew

the loop with and leaf. Sew apparent line

in the center of the leaf from root to the

leaf top.

Step 3: the ending work

Sew the other apparent line nearby. Do the same

to sew the apparent lines dispersed from the

middle lines. The lines are the stems of the leaf.

Each stem has two lines in order to make it the pad

more endurable.

follow how to make hot pads, you can decide the

size of the hot pad according to the appliance you

use. So before cutting the felt, you’d better

compare it with the appliance.
