Start by placing the stencil over your pumpkin-shaped pot holder. Using your Posca pen or chalk paste pen, trace and fill in your chosen design. You can write something sweet and festive like “Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice” or “Baked with Love.” Let it dry completely before handling to avoid smudges.

Choose a few small baking tools that fit the fall theme—think a whisk, a wooden spoon, or a silicone spatula. These little utensils make the gift both cute and practical, perfect for anyone who loves spending time in the kitchen during the holidays.

Slip in a pouch of your favorite baking mix. Brownie mix, pumpkin bread, or even a sugar cookie mix fits perfectly and adds that extra thoughtful touch. You could even include a handwritten recipe card for a personal touch if you’d like.

Place the baking mix and utensils on top of the pot holder, then tie everything together with a festive ribbon. If you want to elevate the presentation, wrap the entire bundle in clear cellophane and finish it off with a bow. It’s an instant gift that looks like it came straight from a boutique!

This simple DIY makes the perfect hostess gift for a fall dinner, a sweet surprise for your neighbor, or even a thoughtful thank-you for a teacher or coworker. It’s a small gesture that spreads a lot of happiness without spending much at all
