We ended up doing this craft on potholders because they were easier to find 60 of and much cheaper. (2 for $1 at the Dollar Tree) This was a great opportunity for us to use up fabric scraps from various projects we had already done but I did go ahead and buy a few different fabric pieces so that they would match the potholders we bought. It didn't take very much fabric at all and they were cute with little red circles on top for cherries too :-) For the most part, I followed this tutorial from Flower Girl Designs. It's a pdf so if you can't open it try going here first. We did the frosting and the base as two separate pieces that were both ironed onto the potholder. I provided the mommies with HeatNBond - UltraHold so that it would be a no-sew project. A few of the women went ahead and embroidered around the edges and that gave it a nice finished look but it definitely wasn't necessary. I love my potholders but they'll probably just be decorative for my kitchen since I also love my silicone oven mitts!
