I felt I was wasting cardboard by using those takeaway cup holders so decided to make a sturdy one that was more 'me'. ^_^

You Will Need (8 things)
- 2 Button(s)
- 1 Foam Sheets
- Pin(s)
- Embroidery Thread
- 2 Felt Sheets
- 1 Hair Band
- Scissors
- Takeaway Cup Holder
Steps (8 steps, 60 minutes)
-
1
Use a takeaway cup holder as a template for the foam base of the cosy.
-
2
Pin the foam template onto a sheet of felt and cut around, leaving about 2cm gap. Repeat a second time.
-
3
Draw a heart on paper and use as a template. Cut two hearts from the felt.
-
4
Pin the shapes in place- remember to 'reverse' the other side so both sides match.
-
5
Place the foam in between the two felts and pin the edges together, ready to sew.
-
6
Cut a hair band in half and sew it's ends together. Slide in between the felt/foam and stitch in.
-
7
Stitch around the entire piece using embroidery thread- this creates a nice complimentary chunky stitch look.

Wrap the cosy around a takeaway cup, marking a dot in the center of where the hair band loop falls. Sew a button onto this spot and repeat for the other side.
