How to Make a Fabric Hotpot

A fabric hotpot is a soft and heat-resistant bowl holder used to place hot dishes safely on the table. It looks nice and protects your hands and surfaces. Here’s how to make one easily.

Materials Needed

• Thick cotton fabric (2 pieces)

• Heat-resistant batting / foam sheet / thick felt

• Needle and thread or sewing machine

• Scissors

• Pins (optional)

Steps

1. Cut the Fabric and Batting
   Cut two same-size squares of fabric and one piece of batting (same size). A good size is 10 x 10 inches.

2. Layer Them
   Place one fabric piece face down, batting in the middle, and the second fabric piece face up. Pin to hold.

3. Sew Around
   Sew around the edges, leaving a small opening.

4. Turn Inside Out
   Turn the piece inside out through the open gap.

5. Stitch the Gap Closed
   Sew the small opening neatly.

6. Shape It (Optional)
   Fold the fabric lightly in four and stitch small corners to create bowl-like shaping.

Your fabric hotpot is ready — stylish, washable, and useful for daily kitchen work.
