Today's been all about trying to protect my precious pots, pans and plates from the battering they take when being heaved in and out of cupboards and off shelves. We have in the past always put kitchen towel between them, and although it is fairly successful, it uses a fair amount of paper and doesn't look very pretty.
So off I went online to buy some pot protectors. Not very helpful because, as well as being quite expensive for the amount I would need, they didn't come in the right sizes for my bits and pieces.
Next stop - the local material shop, where I picked up a meter of 54" wide felt. Back home, out with the felt tip pen and scissors and down to work!
I made a template - download below - for the lid protectors and drew round the plates for the shape. I would recommend on hindsight, that you make the plate one's about an inch bigger as they sink into the plate and leave the edges exposed.

Now finished, my plates, pots and pans are all nicely - and safely - stored away in their cupboards and hopefully protected from future dings and dents :0) Success!
