Adjustable Canvas Cup Holder – Be Lazy Challenge

There’s nothing more relaxing than a lazy morning with your favorite hot beverage. The recipe for perfection is simple: kick back, breathe deep, and take a sip. If your cup is a little too warm for your fingers you’ll want a coffee cozy to protect them. If you have more than one favorite cup you’ll want a cozy that is adjustable. But why stop there? Let’s add your favorite color, a touch of lace for luxury, and hand stitching for originality. That’s a project that will take forever, you’re a busy person with so much on your mind! May we tempt you with a project that offers all of the above and will take less than an hour to complete? Charity Hotrum has prepared just the thing. Read on!

Supplies:
Canvas Corp Canvas Garland 2″ width
7gypsies Lace Trimmings Assorted Pack
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Cranberry Zing
Prism Embroidery Thread
2 medium buttons
2 small buttons
Goody Hair Band

Step 1: Wrap Canvas Garland around cup with a 1″ overlap and cut.

Step 2:  Spritz Canvas Garland with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.
I spritz mine in the kitchen sink to avoid over-spray. Let sit 5 min, then place spritz side down on a dark towel and iron on a cotton setting.

Step 3:  Cut Lace Trim 1/2″ longer than Canvas Garland. Lay on spritz side of Canvas Garland. Turn one end under 1/2″. Use straight pins to secure.

Step 4:Secure small button to the center end with one stitch.
As you stitch the buttons to the garland end you will also be tacking the turned-under-end down.

Step 5: Stack medium button on top and stitch both buttons to the end, together. 

Step 6: Stitch lace to canvas garland with back stitch.
Knot the thread and pull it through the fabric to the front. Insert needle 1/4″ below the thread and back out 1/4″ above the thread. Insert it again, this time where the last stitch started and back out 1/4″ above the most recent stitch. On top of the garland you will be sewing backwards, but underneath you will be sewing forwards.

Step 7:Turn the other end under and secure with stacked buttons as in Steps 4 and 5.

The elastic hair band and the buttons make this cozy adjustable.  The layered buttons give the hair band a notch to rest in. Wrap the band once for a large cup or twice for a smaller cup.
