you can see my cat was checking them out...
Okay I was on Etsy (see the link at the end of the blog) and I saw these ADORABLE tea cozy's for cups with hot drink. They range from $5-$18. I thought I could make those for cheaper. So, I went to my craft closet and pulled out some sweaters that I had felted in the past. (Do you know what felting is? You take a 100% wool sweater and wash it in the hottest water you can and then dry- it then can be cut and used for crafts and not fray) I used to make purses out of felted sweaters. I wanted to see if I had any spare material and I did, and even better I had the sleeves!!! I cut the sleeves and then decorated then and slipped them on my Turvis Tumbler cups. I found that the thinner the material the easier it was to hold in my hand. Below, see what I made....
This black one was my favorite. And I then found these cute buttons. I also make rings, I had used these buttons to make rings. But, I had a few left. I then took green string and went up and down to make it look like a stem. I have decided I still want to try to knit one as well.
