  Step 1

  Attach loop to potholder -
  Form a loop from a 4 1/2" piece of double fold bias tape and stitch it to the center top inside of potholder.

• 

  Step 2

  Attach the button to the outside of the potholder. A vintage button is always fun to use.

  Step 3

  Make and attach a yo-yo fabric flower -
  All you need is a fabric scrap. Then stitch the flower to the outside of the potholder. You can find the tutorial for Yo-Yo flowers on my page.

  Step 4

  Make and attach a Boho fabric flower -
  These are easy to make from a fabric scrap as well; you can check out the tutorial on my page.

• 

  Step 5

  Stitch the Boho flower to the the center of the yo-yo flower.

  Step 6

  Attach Ziplock bags to potholder -
  Take about 5 Ziplock snack bags and place them on top of each other. Using a needle and thread, make a secure stitch through the bottom center of the pile.

• 

  Step 7

  Then stitch the group of bags to the center inside of the potholder.

  Step 8

  Fill the baggies with emergency supplies. This is the fun part! Some ideas include bobby pins, pony-tail holder, one dollar bill, loose coins, postage stamp, Advil, Q-tips, safety pins, and more. Trust me, this thoughtful gift quickly becomes just as useful as it is adorable!
