kermie cozies!

glue gun + champagne = kermie cozies!

my friend and fellow muppet lover, becca, found instructions to make kermit the frog coffee cozies. that can only mean one thing: play date! with some nibbles, a big bottle of champagne, and felt, we were certain to have a good time. our cozy construction was different than the original:

• trace pattern onto heat'n bond. cut out and press to felt sheet with a medium iron
• cut out felt with fusible backing
• remove paper sheet from fusible backing, and press onto a second piece of felt. cut out both pieces

• trace top curve of pattern onto lighter green felt. 1/2" from the edge, cut triangles points
• place darker green felt on top of lighter green felt at the 1/2" line
• add hem tape to the top curve. press with medium iron. remove paper backing
• fold lighter green piece over the top edge, and press to hem tape.
• on front side, press points flat to body

• cut 2 thin strips of velcro. glue soft loop side to the outside of body with a hot glue gun
• glue the plastic hook side of the velcro to the same spots on the reverse interior
• let glue dry completely
• wrap around your cup and get cozy!
