For many of us, the first craft we ever created was a potholder made on a potholder loom. The small potholder loom kits for kids are really neat and the potholders make wonderful gifts for children to give. As a child, I enjoyed this craft greatly, mostly because I loved making useful gifts. But here’s […]
