Before trudging out to get the tree, or hitting the skating rink with your sweetheart or friends, take 10 minutes to plan a cozy and personalized cup of hot chocolate, chai tea or a homemade caramel latte and dress up your takeout cups with something a little more than the ordinary.

These coffee jackets would also be a gorgeous detail at a wintery wedding, especially if some of your wedding day occurs outside in a snowy winter wonderland!

Materials

Cardstock paper
Printer
Scissors
Glue Gun
Coffee Jacket from local coffee shop
Takeout cups

Search the Internet for pictures of images you can manipulate in a photo-editing program; this project used jewellery but you can use your logo, a photo or your names and date – whatever suits your fancy! Reduce the image to a size no larger than 1.5” tall. Drag and drop to a new document (standard paper size) and place the image in the top centre using landscape layout. You can make two jackets per page by placing a second image about 5” below the first. Print!

Open the jacket from your local coffee shop and trace it over the cardstock with your selected image in the centre. Cut out new jacket and use a high heat glue gun to adhere the jacket together.
