'Genius' tea towel DIY by a Kmart shopper leaves the internet in awe!
- Replies 16
Kmart, the budget-friendly haven for many Aussie shoppers, is a modern-day convenience that offers a wide range of affordable homewares. From furniture and bedding to kitchen supplies and more, this store is always within reach when searching for a great deal.
But every now and then, you stumble upon something unexpected! And it seems that even Kmart shoppers have a knack for making their purchases go the extra mile.
One shopper, in particular, has captivated the internet with her creative DIY project involving Kmart's unbelievably low-priced $2 tea towels.
When she shared her creation on a Facebook group dedicated to Kmart enthusiasts, it left everyone scratching their heads. Her ingenious idea involved transforming those humble tea towels into stunning microwave 'bowl cosies'.
At first glance, the group members were equally baffled and intrigued by the mysterious item. Curious comments flooded in, asking, 'I feel a bit silly, but what is that used for?' and 'Someone, please explain what a microwave bowl holder is?'
After a while, the answers came pouring in—and, as it turns out, the mysterious fabric bowl has a 'very clever' purpose! A microwave bowl cosy simply sits under a bowl in the microwave, preventing you from burning your hands when taking it out. It's a heatproof holder for hot dishes!
Fellow Kmart shoppers in the Facebook group were amazed by this innovative idea, with one person admitting, 'I'm mind-blown. That's an amazing idea; I need one now!'
Another chimed in, 'I have to say I learned something today. Never knew such a thing as a microwave bowl cosy existed.'
Even the creative genius behind the idea confessed she'd only discovered it a few years ago at a market stall before deciding to make one for herself.
The Kmart shopper shared her simple pattern, purchased from Etsy, for crafting the 'very easy' bowl holder while emphasising that every material used (including the thread) must be 100% cotton for the cosy to remain heatproof.
