Felt Scarf Cup Wraps
Bundle up your hot drinks in cozy, stylish charm.
Make the wrap: Cut a 1-1/4-inch-wide strip of felt about 23 inches long. Adjust the length to fit a travel cup. Snip both ends of felt strip to mimic fringe; remove slivers of felt to make fringe more obvious. Tie the felt strip around the cup.
Make the tag: Glue a bead to the end of a bamboo skewer. Cut a 1-1/4×4-inch rectangle from colored cardstock. Stamp the rectangle with a suitable sentiment. Punch a snowflake from white cardstock and adhere beside the stamped sentiment. Top with a gem sticker. Trim a V-shape notch in the right-hand side of cardstock flag, glue flag to skewer, and insert in scarf-wrapped cup.
