Scones are such a delicious and homey baked treat and they’re even better served warm. We created this cute and simple Scone Cozy craft project as a sweet and functional way to keep your scones nice and warm. It also has great gift potential. Make a batch of your favorite scones, place them in the cozy, set on a plate, and deliver to a friend or send to school as a teacher’s gift.
Here’s how to make your cozy:
- Cut two 11-inch diameter circles from terry cloth or other thick-cloth kitchen towel.
- Finish the raw edge of each circle with bias binding and, if desired, embellish with rickrack.
- With chalk, divide one circle into six equal wedges, just as if cutting a pie. Place the marked circle on top of the second circle and sew them together along the lines.
And you’re done!

IT'S ME, SERENA!
I bounced through the first years of my life in a hippie gypsy wagon, hand-built by my father, wandering the back roads of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. My family eventually settled into a tiny cabin in the woods on property that was once inhabited by Native American Indians.
I spent my childhood days searching for arrowheads, teaching myself to sew on a treadle sewing machine and to bake in a wood-burning stove, with no running water, refrigeration, or electricity in our home. My family lived frugally and early on, inspired by my parent’s thriftiness and style, I gained a knack for thrifty creativity and turning ordinary objects into something useful. And I dreamed of the home I would create for my own family someday.
Now I’m married to my husband, Colin, and our children are all grown. After 24 years of producing The Farm Chicks Vintage & Handmade Fair, I'm spending time visiting other markets around the world. You can watch episodes of Serena Goes to Market here.
I share more about my life story from time to time, here on my blog. You can also find me on Instagram, and Facebook.
