If you're going to drink to-go coffee at least you can cut down on some of the waste in style.
Materials:-felt
-colorful yarn
-paper coffee sleeve
Step 1:Make a sharpie mark on to the paper cozie where the two pieces overlap. Then pull apart.
Step 2: If the overlap area is excessive trim down to a 1/2" or so. This cozy will now serve as your pattern.
Step 3: Trace the pattern onto you felt and cut out cleanly.
Step 4: If you haven't already done so, make a plan for you design.
Step 5: Choose your favorite(s) and draw them right onto the felt.
Step 6: Stitch in the drawn design with yarn.
Step 7: Now use doublestick tape (or pins) to overlap the 2 ends by 1/4".
Step 8: Quickly slide the sleeve over a coffee cup to make sure that the fit is correct. (If it's too tight or loose make the proper adjustment before going on to step 9.)
Step 9: Finish by stitching across the overlapped area until you're sure the pieces are well connected.
Oh, yeah... as said in the title of this post, I made another one. An easy applique...again in the eye motif; I can't get enough of it! I reused the patterns I had left over from the Eye Elbow Project (and made a few smaller ones, as well). Except this time I played up the colors. A lot.
To make this one, just follow steps 1 through 3 above and then add the eyes as instructed here.
Ha! I look so attached to it already. This is probably the one I'm going to be keeping for myself:) Happy gifting, friends!
