DIY Coffee Sleeve Craft
What you'll need:- Felt- Fabric paint- fabric scissors- Hot glue gun- (Optional: a paper coffee sleeve from Starbucks)
Take your Starbucks sleeve, or draw your own template, and trace the outline onto a piece of felt. You can let your creative juices flow and make your own design without the template, it's totally cool too!
Use your fabric scissors to cut out the felt and decorate it however you fancy with fabric paint. Let it dry and then use a hot glue gun to seal the sides together, and you're good to go!
