Cup Cozies from Ties


I spent some time this weekend cutting down a box of old ties into re-usable pieces of fabric, with the goal of putting together a bunch of fabric cup cozies. I'm so frustrated by the amount of waste we generate, that I've been on this kick to try to reduce as much as possible. These are insulated with 100% cotton batting scrap and are washable. I keep a few in my glove compartment. This is one of the first experiments above. It's safe to say that if I could figure out how to make cups from fabric I might try that too, but so far, I feel good with the small start I've begun to make with reducing the amount of fabric that gets added to the landfills on my part. What do you think? Cute huh?!
