Repurpose Silicone Pot Holders for Hair Irons

My flat hair iron is too hot to leave on the counter top while I'm working with it. Although it comes with a heavy plastic holder, it's easier to just place it on a silicone hot pad.

I'd originally purchased these for use when baking, but found they radiated too much heat to my hands. As a trivet, same situation, but as a hot hair straightener holder, they work just fine.

Source: I got this idea from Ulta which was advertising the latest Chi with a quilted hot pad.
