  Step 1

  Go to Starbucks. No really. This step is non-negotiable! =P While there, pick up your favorite hot beverage, and two of the cardboard hot sleeves. (I grabbed an extra in case I lost mine) =) Drink your caffeine and feel crafty!

  You should have these three things upon returning home.

• 

  Step 2

  Open up one of the cardboard sleeves and lay it out. It's a pattern! Think to yourself: couldn't I have just swiped one of the sleeves and saved 4 dollars? But then how would you see your finished product on a real cup?! If you feel warm and caffeinated, move on to step 3, if not, please repeat step 1. =)

• 

  Step 3

  Find two pieces of fabric to make your cozy with. Lay them on top of each other, and using your cardboard sleeve, cut around them. Leave about an half-inch or more for seams.

• 

  Step 4

  You should now have this.

• 

  Step 5

  This cozy is reversible. Embellish one, or both sides. Remember to stay away from the edges because we will be sewing these soon and they will disappear. I spelled out "hot" on mine =)

• 

  Step 6

  After you are done embellishing, place your two pieces, right sides together in a sort of sandwich.

• 

  Step 7

  Sew most of the way around, leaving one end open so you can flip it right-side out.

• 

  Step 8

  Flip right side out.

• 

  Step 9

  Fold down remaining open edge and pin.

• Step 10

  Sew all the way around the top of your cozy, on the front. =)

• 

  Step 11

  Wrap your cozy around the cup (see I told you you'd need it!) and pin one edge over the other. Sew down on top of the stitches from step 8, making a circle.

• 

  Step 12

  Admire your cozy! Place in purse and use next time you are out! =)
