Lately,
I’ve been mesmerized by adorable casserole dish carriers I’ve been noticing on
Pinterest. I finally decided to suck it
up and make a few. I have been making
them for friends’ wedding gifts. Along
with the casserole dish carrier, I’ve been etching a casserole dish with their
new last name (see my glass etching tutorial for the full process). After making a few for my friends, I figured
why not make one for myself. I used this
tutorial:
Here
are the supplies I chose to use.
There are a few changes
I made. For example, my Pyrex baking
dish has handles, so I had to increase the size of the rectangles to 40 X 12
and 37 X 15.
I also used buttons on
the outer layer instead of Velcro. I did
this by folding a thin hair-tie in half and zig-zag stitching across it. I then cut it in half, giving me 2
loops. On the shorter side of the outer piece,
I left it un-sewn and flipped it right-side out. I then folded the edges under and pinned the
loops 3 inches from each edge and sewed the edge shut. I added the buttons to the opposite side of
the loops to secure the holder shut.
From the pictures you
can tell I have yet to sew on the handles, but I will be using an old belt
instead of excess fabric. We were
getting rid of clothes we no longer wear and being the recylcler/reuser I am, I
wanted to use Matt’s old belts instead of just throw them out. I hope you love the tutorial as much as I did
and I hope my extra tips helped you.
