Coffee Cozy for Valentine

 Today I have a totally different project for you.

I made a coffee cosy.

I was looking around the internet for some 

quiling ideas and I found some cute

coffee cozies.

Suddenly I had this Valentine coffee cozy idea.

Supplies:

piece of white sheet

cloisonné mini heart by Michael Strong

love sentiment by Michael Strong

coffee sentiment by Club Scrap

stazon blazing red and inkjet black

pencil

iron

sewing machine

A coffee cozy looks like this template,

but to be sure you have to fit it around

the cup you are going to use and maybe

you have to resize it for your cup.

I found a great quilting tutorial HERE

and it may help you to make your own.

I drew the template on the material to see 

were to stamp. I used blazing red stazon ink.

First I stamped the cloisonné mini heart.

 

After that I used black ink for the sentiments.

Use an iron and a piece of backing paper to

heat set the ink.

 Now you sew the cozy together and turn it inside out.

On top of the cozy a decorative line is sewn.

This is the finished coffee cozy.

 

The closure of the cozy is a button and elastic.

You can use any button, but i made the button 

with Michael Strong's coffee cup

and a piece of shrink plastic.

Stamped with black stazon and colored with pencils

before heating the shrink plastic with a heat gun.

Don't forget to punch the holes

before shrinking.

Have a creative day!
