the weather is getting quite chilly, so i made something to keep my mug (of all things!!!) warm... hehehe...
all warm and cozy now... ;)
i was out shopping one day when i passed by caribou coffee, and i saw on their display shelf a line-up of mugs with oh-so-cute winter-themed mug cozies (or mug sleeves, as they called it). but as with all other gourmet coffee outlets, these things don't come cheap. just add your brand and logo on a factory (most probably in china) mass-produced item and charge cut-throat prices for it? sorry, not my cup of tea...
so i decided to make my own. they're not that hard to make actually, we just need to get the measurements right. i didn't write out the steps while i was making them, but just kept measuring it against my mug as i went along. if anyone is interested to make their own, just drop me a line and i guess i can write out a simple instruction for you.
added in a deco, looking like a teabag tag hanging outside the mug...
when planning to make this cozy, make sure you know which mug you're making it for coz every mug's measurement is different. also, it'll be easier if the diameter of your mug is consistent from top to bottom and not of any weird shape.
not sure if it's a good thing to be known as this in the office...
this mug is a christmas present from one of my colleagues, who gave the same thing to a few other colleagues too. so there are a few "multi-taskers" in the office! hahaha... that's why this cozy is useful in not only keeping my mug warm but also in making it special and different from others, so that other people don't take and use my mug by mistake! :D
