DIY Upcycled Sweater Mug Cozy


"Learn how to upcycle sweater sleeves into a sweater mug cozy. This beginner sewing project is great for keeping mugs warm, and makes a great handmade gift! Sweaters are one of my favorite things to upcycle.
There are so many things you can make from one sweater! I had an old sweater that I wanted to make a mug cozy from the sweater sleeve cuffs.
The sweater is nice and warm to keep a mug warm, and the stretch of the cuffs keep it snug against the mug. This is a really fast and easy sewing project, and it makes a great gift!"
