Make a Coffee Cup Sleeve in Under 15 Minutes

I come from a family of coffee fanatics. So, when I was thinking about making a little something to send to my Mom, I immediately thought of a coffee cup sleeve. 

It’s a fun gift that’s quick and easy to make, very inexpensive, and fits right into an envelope for easy mailing.

Craft Tutorial - Turn a simple dollar store sock into a coffee sleeve in 15 minutes or less.

Make a Coffee Cup Sleeve in Under 15 Minutes

socksupplies

The supplies you need for one sleeve:

  • a sock (I found a huge variety at the dollar store)
  • some fabric glue like Fabri-Tac from Beacon Adhesives
  • a pair of scissors
  • any embellishments you’d like to add to your coffee sleeve: buttons, felt shapes, charms, and beads all make good choices. 
  • I decided that I wanted the look of the stitching as part of the detail so I’m also using some embroidery floss and a needle to add those on.

Step One:

With a typical pair of socks, I’m able to get two coffee sleeves from one sock.  First, I cut the foot from the top. 

Then I trim the toe and heel from the foot.  The straight rectangular sections are perfect for the coffee cup sleeves! 

Step Two:

I find that with some socks, the cut edges may tend to curl a bit.  This is where the Fabri-Tac comes in handy. Simply use it to fold the edge under and secure it.

I sewed on a button and charm (it says “Follow your heart”).  You could also sew or glue on pretty ribbons or lace trims.

This is such a quick and easy gift idea. You can make one for every coffee lover on your list. They’re perfect as stocking stuffers, to add to Easter baskets, or as a co-worker or neighbor gift.

You can even add a few packets of coffee and a tumbler to go along with it if you want to make a themed gift out of it.

    What a great idea. Would be a great way to use those pairs of socks that lose their mate when they are nearly brand new.

    I’m thinking all the pattern socks that have a missing mate are soon to be repurposed. Never knew what to do with them other than trash. Thanks so much! Great idea!
