Reversible felt takeaway cup holder.

I felt I was wasting cardboard by using those takeaway cup holders so decided to make a sturdy one that was more 'me'. ^_^

1

Use a takeaway cup holder as a template for the foam base of the cosy.
2

Pin the foam template onto a sheet of felt and cut around, leaving about 2cm gap. Repeat a second time.
3

Draw a heart on paper and use as a template. Cut two hearts from the felt.
4

Pin the shapes in place- remember to 'reverse' the other side so both sides match.
5

Place the foam in between the two felts and pin the edges together, ready to sew.
6

Cut a hair band in half and sew it's ends together. Slide in between the felt/foam and stitch in.
7

Stitch around the entire piece using embroidery thread- this creates a nice complimentary chunky stitch look.
8

Wrap the cosy around a takeaway cup, marking a dot in the center of where the hair band loop falls. Sew a button onto this spot and repeat for the other side.
