These are what I used: A good sized black shopping bag I received free from a magazine about 5 years ago (I took off all the sequins on the bag to keep for future craft use) A small black M)phosis (a clothing label in Asia) shopping bag 1 of the 2 non-woven black shoe bags that came with a pair of shoes I bought in Singapore A truly ugly-looking foil coated complimentary shopping bag from Visa A few black zippers taken out from old clothes, been lying in my sewing box for month, or years Here is what I did: Folded and sewed the M)phosis shopping bag onto the outside of the large bag, to make a zipped-up pocket.

We're moving all contents to a new site You can find us here at the new  Handmade pot holder URL   If you've come here through an old bookmark, please update accordingly 😊 😘 Really handy for holding hot pots.

True enough, they now look really happy with their vines hanging down freely from the pots.

I even made a pair of curtain tie backs using an old belt that is no longer in use. The hooks can be removed and reused again, and the tie backs are secured by some old rubber bands tied on the hooks.
