Saturday ReView: Oven Roasted Tomatoes with Garlic & Ken BBQ Apron from Potholder

These Oven Roasted Roma Tomatoes with Garlic turn out of season store bought tomatoes into a very nice meal folks! They are pretty easy and call for minimal ingredients. Equally as good with, or without, the fresh basil. As a matter of fact, tomatoes are on the shopping list for today:@) 

And Ken says it's grilling season...

I've mentioned before that I'm grateful for inspiration any time I can find it:@) I saw these cute seasonal potholders at Dollar Tree (two for $1) and thought the scale of the saying would work as a fun grilling apron for Ken. A few cuts, some ribbon from my craft stash and a little hot glue later... Wa-la, Ken was serving burgers for dinner!

The potholders I started with:

(And I did save the silver colored quilted back, just in case I think of something for that😎

What I did:

1. Cut the front design off of the potholder.
2. Folded it in half lengthwise with the saying in the center.
3. Using the doll as a guide, cut bib shape, then flare sides out to go around the hips.
4. Hot glue loop on top, make it big enough to slip over doll's head.
5. Add ties, they can be long enough to actually tie behind the doll's back, or short and hot glue a little velcro to each end.
6. Finally, border the whole apron with ribbon.

The finished apron:

A word about glue...

The ~fastest~ way to make these little aprons is with hot glue, no question.

The ~neatest~ way to make them, would be with Liquid Stitch. This would also give you more of a chance to bend the ribbon to follow the curves as necessary.

My original apron tutorial (fits Elf on the Shelf too), with free pattern, can be found here.

Ken says it's time to get your grilling game face on!!!
