Thank God we had two months to finish these potholders! I had a small collection of bottle caps that I started with,but soon ran out of. I enlisted my husband and friends to save theirs for me. Now, that I've finished using them, my husband doesn't know what to do with his. To him, it now seems a waste to throw them away.I used every minute of it working on these darlings. I would crochet in the car, at the kids Doctor appointments, during knit nights, watching movies, and everywhere in between. Even once I finally got all 95 caps covered, I still had to sew them all together! : )
All the work aside, I absolutely love the way they turned out. They are very sturdy and they stay put when you set them down. (I find very important when you trying to put a pot on it.) Being crochet thread, I know they will last a lifetime with proper care.
So, to those of you who receive my lovelies, take care, enjoy, and know that a lot of love and hard work went into these.
These are brilliant. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteWAH!!! those are awesome!
ReplyDeletei've seen resin-filled bottle caps as game pieces, pins, hair clips, magnets, treasures...
These are so cool and unique. I love them!
ReplyDeleteThese are really cool. How did you sew them together so cleanly?
ReplyDeleteOf course, I had a huge moment of panic last night and I, umm, ripped all of the ones I had done. Now I have one done and until Tuesday when I plan to mail them out. Eeep!
I stitch the bottoms together. If you flip them over, it's a little messier, but the tops look great!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! I have never seen anything like it before. Oh, I do hope i'm one of the lucky ones...
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! Great Job!! Whoever gets one will be very lucky.
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
