Craft: Quilted Microwave Potato Envelope

Sandy

December 2, 2009

Use this "envelope" to microwave your potatoes! This is a craft a child can do if they are able to hand stitch the two sides.

Approximate Time: 30 Minutes

Supplies:

• 11x24 inches of quilted material
• thread

Instructions:

1. Cut one piece of double sided quilted material 11 inches wide and 24 inches long.

 
2. Fold material leaving a 2 inch flap.

 
3. Sew sides.
4. Add a recipe card stating: Wash and dry potatoes. Wrap in a paper towel. Insert in quilted "envelope" and cook according to your microwave directions. "Don't poke or prod the taters!"

This "envelope" is large enough to warm tortilla shells.

In addition to using a microfiber dusting mitt, be sure to wet the mitt and wring the excess water, out before microwaving your potato. This gives a more complete cooking and the potato will be fluffy.

No one has put how to make one. It just says it is fun using bits to make one. I need instructions on how to make and best materials to use.
