Ok, I may have gone off my rocker on this one.
But I love coffee. Everything about it. The smell, the taste, the cups, the cafes, and the cozies.
Yes the cozies. So I made some, and I like them. I think they are rad actually. Yes. RAD.
And I’m going to use them all the time…because…why not?
Don’t laugh, how can you not like them…hee hee
The idea for these little beauties came to me out of nowhere in Fabricland one day.
I saw faux fur. I saw sequins. I saw coffee cozies.
Hilarious!
So here they are in all of their crazy glory.
I must confess, it sheds a little.
But it’s cute.
And fun.
I’m trying to LIVE life to the fullest, remember?! haha
Why not be sassy when sippin’ tea, I say?
The Sequin Cozy
- I used about 7 inches of sequin ribbon that I found at Fabricland (it’s about 2 inches wide). But if you have a favourite mug, or always drink Starbucks, measure your ribbon to fit those cups.
- Then I lined it with a strip of felt cut to fit. I used my glue gun to put it all together.
- That’s it.
The Faux Fur Cozy
- I measured out about 7 inches of faux fur (and it’s about 2 1/2 inches wide). Again, if you have a favourite mug or use Starbucks cups, just measure to fit those.
- I bought 2 wooden buttons, and a strip of elastic tie, for the enclosure.
- Just get out your trusty glue gun and glue on the ribbon, just long enough that when you loop the buttons together, there isn’t much of a gap at the close. See picture below…
Doesn’t it just conjure up images of a cold Canadian winter?!
Maybe not practical, but why does everything have to be?
Cheers!

Hi I'm Jo-Anna! I mom. I blog. I cook. I craft. I like pretty things.
I love this! Great idea. My fave is the fur one :)
Oh, and I notice you didn’t do your calendar round-up (not doing it for 2012)? so i posted some on my blog last night and gave a shout out to you for the great idea!
Wow these are too cute!!
How fun! I don’t drink coffee, but that faux fur almost makes me wish I did!

I just keep thinking about random hair in my coffee with the fur, but the sequins are awesome! :D
Oh my God, too cute! This post makes me smile because I LOVE coffee AND faux fur. It’s my two favorite things combined, I swear. You could sell these. I would buy them.

I LOVE this – especially the sequins! Do you have any more great paint chip ideas – I’m seriously on another paint chip kick and looking for inspiration, haha!

P.S. This is so weird and random, but you showed up as a no-reply blogger when you left your comment on my blog… I’m not sure what the deal is, but I thought I’d let you know since it’s not like Blogger tells you! : )
This is seriously the cutest thing ever. Furry coffee cozy?? Brilliant! SELL!
So cute. this would be great for the very cold days here in NYC.
Ha! That would make me feel a lot more fancy drinking my tea :)
That IS hilarious!!!! Love it. Tres chic!! <3
I say life is too short so live it up!!! I really think they are cute… although I wonder if the fur will last long… or maybe I am just a messy drinker…LOL!!!
I have a project party every weekend if you want to join here.. http://www.bubblynaturecreations.com/2012/01/vanilla-bean-iced-coffee-and-project.html
Have a great day!

That fur one is sooo funky. I love furry (of course fake furry) things. What fun is that people always ask ‘what’s this?’ :)
Love,

These are adorable, Rad really, I can see doing this idea for canned goodies as gifts, something different than the piece of fabric or ribbon at the top. Love it.
Cute cozies! I would love for you to link up with my party at: http://anoriginalbelle.blogspot.com/2012/01/make-it-yourself-monday-10-link-up.html
Thanks! Happy Monday!
Everything about this is making me very happy today. I do my best to eat off cute and pretty plates, even if it’s just my casual lunch while the kids are napping. Pretty glasses, cute napkins, it all makes me happy. A faux fur cozy for a travel cup? LOVE.
