Curious about Hot Pads

Square hot pads ALWAYS have the little loop in the corner for hanging them. I never put the loop on mine when I make them and never hang them. I have asked all of my coworkers and very few people hang decorative ones but not the ones they use. Do you hang your pot holders? When you make pot holders do you add the loop? Just curious.

Comment by June Johnson/Wi on April 25, 2012 at 7:35pm: Even if they have loops, I don't use them. Shove them in a drawer.

Comment by AidaCJ/NH on April 25, 2012 at 6:05pm: No loops, but I found a good use for loops on the hot pads. Because I cannot grasp as good with my fingers, I put the loop around my thumb, that way the pad doesn't run away from my hand.

Comment by Irene Gallway on April 25, 2012 at 5:18pm: No loops here either, I store mine in a drawer also.

Comment by Its Vic! on April 25, 2012 at 5:15pm: My pot holders get used and sure would not make a great lookin' wall decoration...haha! Those are the store bought ones....If I ever make any I think I would choose not to bother with a loop as well. I don't like potholders as decor on a wall. Same for gift givin'.

Comment by Kathy Biggs/MO on April 25, 2012 at 5:01pm: No, no loops.

Comment by Pam/NY on April 25, 2012 at 4:58pm: No loops...I use them for mug rugs and I use insulbrite...

Comment by Lynne on April 25, 2012 at 4:03pm: I don't have drawer space to put my pot holders, so yes, I do use the loop.. Never made any, and don't hang any for decoration.
