Just in time for Earth Day you can make your own reusable fabric coffee cup sleeves (See video tutorial below). It’s not always easy to carry your own mug with you everywhere you go, but you can easily slip a fabric coffee cup sleeve into your purse or onto your wrist.
Did you know that a coffee drinker can save up to 10 pounds of paper a year just by using a reusable sleeve? That makes your fabric coffee cup sleeve stylish and green!
I like this project because it’s great for using up leftover fabric scraps and stray jewelry charms. It’s also quick and easy because you use fast2fuse fusible interfacing (available from C&T Publishing).
Warning: Once you make one, you might not want to stop. Look for fun coffee-themed charms. Try a coffee-themed print or other special fabric. The green one second from the right is French Roast, made from one of my favorite Souleiado prints.
I’m thinking of drafting a new bracelet cuff pattern similar to the fabric coffee cup sleeves except just for my wrist . . .
