How to make a felt mug cozy for cat lovers
Gather your materials and follow the step-by-step tutorial to make this pretty DIY gift.
First, cut out a rectangle according to the mug’s measure.
Then, cut two pieces of felt, according to the pattern.
Stitch the cat appliqué onto one of the felt pieces. (See the instructions to make the appliqué above).
Use sewing pins to hold together both felt pieces.
Using a blanket stitch, sew the pieces together.
Sew a large button on the opposite side.
Place a piece of elastic cording about 2.5 inches long in the middle of the open end.
