Batting to use if you want heat resistance:
2 layers of 100 percent cotton batting sandwiched over one layer of Insulbrite Thermal
Batting. The cotton batting is soft and dense and won’t melt from high heat. Insulbrite
reflects the heat back to the source. DO NOT USE THIS BATTING IN THE
MICROWAVE. Or use Wrap-N-Zap Cotton Batting
If you are just making them for display purposes, one piece of batting will suffice.
