    You could turn them into water bottle holders. Add a circle to the bottom and add some straps .

    Ice cream bowl cozies is an excellent idea! My hands always get so cold. However, you could wear them as hats too!

    I have no idea how to modify the stitching - but I got a thread catcher made from a bowl holder made with poly batting. Maybe someone can think of a way and you'll have some neat presents for your sewing friends........

    You could put potpourri in them to discourage kitchen usage.

    Good ideas for use. DH is liking the hat idea! Thanks my forum friends! I thought they could also be used as a jar candle holder. Or to hold make-up, etc in the bathroom. Off today to get thread & batting!

    They can still be used for tons of stuff! Honestly, I never would have imagined putting them in the microwave if weren't for these forums anyway!!

    Use them in your sewing room to hold feet, wonder clips, bobbins, etc!

    Some great ideas. Thanks. I did go shopping yesterday. I felt obligated to support Small Business Saturday! Bought 100% thread & 100% batting. I think she said it was a Quilter's Dream brand. I have tagged it as 100% cotton so I don't mix it up with other batting. I'll definitely finish the ones I have & use them throughout the house for various things. Now that I have the proper materials, I'll do real microwave bowl holders!

    ONWARD BRAVE QUILTER. ! Seriously, I feel your frustration, but we ALL learned something here. Check and recheck when doing something new. The new holders will be wonderful!
