Flat Iron Holder

I love the never ending crafts you can make with a pot holder. To turn a pot holder into a Flat Iron Holder, I first found this cute polka dot potholder at Dollar Tree.  Then I sewed up the side vertically and along the bottom.  And now maybe my new Chi will last as long as it should this time!

You could also fold it the other way and sew horizontally and along the bottom for a sunglass holder!  That's my next project.

  1. I definitely want to try this, but I have some questions. Do you cut the potholder in half first? I'm slightly confused by that part and why do you need to sew the bottom?

  2. Could you also use the pocket to actually hold the straightener in? Then, you could cut it in half, sew down the side of each half, and give one to a friend as a gift?

  4. She means to fold it in half. Then stitch along the long side...all the way down and around the bottom. This leaves only the top open to put the flat iron in.

  6. I love this idea. Just to let you know if you wrap your cord like that it cause shorts in the wires. That happened to one of my CHI. Thought you would like to know

  7. This is so creative! Thank you for the idea. I may not fold it as tight so that I can loosly stuff my cord in the pocket part. I can't wait to make it!
