How to Weave a Potholder

By Brittni • posted on 02/15/2025

Did you learn how to weave a potholder when you were a kid, with those colorful polyester loops on a simple little loom? Well, potholder weavings have come a long way. They’re still easy to make, but with all the options for loops these days, they’re way cuter.

Last time I talked about these kind of weavings on a potholder loom, I went through the history of potholder weavings, all the ends of outs of what you would need to get started, the various types of looms available, etc. But today, I wanted to share how to actually make a potholder weaving from one of these inexpensive looms.

I taught a couple of classes on this very subject to elementary school kids recently (age 4-12) and they were able to grasp the concept pretty quickly. So you know the process will be easy-to-follow. But more importantly, it’s fun, only requires two items to get started, and you can have a completed potholder weaving in less than an hour. It’s addictive, I promise!

So, if you’re looking for a way to keep your hands busy and try out a different creative activity, or just a project to zone out on while  watching tv, click through for the tutorial.

This is just a silly little Valentine’s Day project, but I like how easy it is. Inspired by a now sold out brass heart wreath from Terrain, I made a mini Valentine’s Day wreath with items I already had at home. Which means it didn’t cost me any money to make!

I reused foil wrappers from the chocolate coins Hayes got for Christmas. So, if you have any of those leftover, they’re perfect for this. Don’t have any chocolate coin wrappers? Click through to find what other household item you can use for this project.
