I made these coffee cuffs back in December during the flurry of Holiday activity and recently realized I forgot to share them here. They are slightly different in design from the
first coffee cuff and I think they work pretty well. I also made a few that got given away without being photographed (doh!) but they were all pretty similar to these.

I've actually been using this one and I love it. I carry it around in my purse so it's always ready for those impromptu Starbucks splurges. |
|
This cuff required some improvisation. Somehow it ended up about an inch shorter than it should have been, making it impossible to install a snap. I decided to pound in some eyelets instead and lace it up corset style. I'm not sure how practical it is but I like its sassy charm. |
|
This is what the cuffs look like unsnapped and flattened out. |
|
Oh yeah, and I used different fabric for the "inside" of each cuff so, if you don't mind the snap being backwards sometimes, they're reversible. |
I think I will be making more of these in the future. The curves of the pattern took some figuring out but once it was dialed in, these were pretty simple to make. I think it would be fun to experiment with some unique embellishments and different types of fasteners. So many ideas, so little time.

SO cute, and totally Etsy-able! I hope you have a shop. Seriously.
Care to share a pattern or tips? Or we can just make one together if we ever get a mini crafty BHS reunion going on.
Kim,
Thanks! Yes, I do have an etsy shop. There is currently nothing in it but I'm working on changing that soon. I'm just such a terrible business person. I would rather be crafting than maintaining my etsy shop. It would be nice to be able to at least make enough to support my yarn/fabric habit though.
Oh these are great! Makes me wish I like coffee and coffee shops so I could whip out one of those and totally out-cool everyone there :oP
Susanne,
They work on cups of tea too. =)
I need to make some that are adjustable enough to fit around various sizes of regular mugs. That way you wouldn't have to go to a coffee shop to use them.
