You Will Need
-
Step 1
Download a pattern for the fabric part of the cozy.
Or, grab one of those cardboard sleeves at Starbucks (or your favourite coffee shop), and pull it apart for a pattern! :)
-
Step 2
Cut out 2 pieces of felt in the same shape as the pattern. I used two different colors of felt, dark and light brown.
-
Step 3Decorate the piece of felt you want to put in the "front" in any way you want! I chose to embroider on the molecular formula for caffeine! (My roommie is a coffee-fiend.)
-
Step 4lay down the "back" side of your cozy, and put strips of heat'n'bond iron-on adhesive (pictured) around all the edges.
Carefully put your "front" piece on top, making sure to line up the edges.
Iron together, following instructions on the package.
-
Step 5
If you want, you can sew around the edges to make it look like it was actually hand-sewn! :)
-
Step 6After fabric cools, use a hot glue gun to attach Velcro to either side of the fabric, as a closure. The benefit of using Velcro over more Heat'n'Bond is that it is (semi) adjustable! :)
-
Step 7Velcro together and enjoy your coffee (or other warm drink of choice)! mmm!
