Hot stuff! (Potholder upcycle)
I have curly hair. Naturally curly hair. It’s not always easy having naturally curly hair. It frizzes when it rains. It knots up a lot, plus…
Mostly, I pull my hair back into a ponytail when it’s somewhat longer, and I let it do its thing when it’s somewhat shorter. But every now and then, I get INSPIRED and try to actually *DO* something with it. I have bought these…
and this…
and even this…
There are probably other products too. I have a graveyard of unused hair stuff up in my attic. At the time, I was 100% convinced that each one would be THE product to change my life…or, in this case, my hair.
My most recent purchase was a straightening iron. I didn’t splurge on a case because I decided to make one myself. I figured I would make one out of a potholder, because then I could even pack it away while hot.
Basically, this involved two seams—one on the bottom and one on the side, plus a bit of cord to tie the cord, and an iron-on patch.
And that is about as much use as the straightening iron has gotten so far. Oh well, at least it has a nice “casket” for when it ends up in..

I like your hair short, it’s so cute. Maybe you should venture into failed hair accessories next like me – clips, combs, hair bands …
I think you’re onto something there. Possibly some upcycling opportunities for hair accessories as well. I’m all into the headband thing now. Since the 80s are back, I don’t see why I shouldn’t use headbands too. And thanks for the short hair comment.
