DIY Crafty Cup Sleeves

          To make this stylish Jacket for your everyday Starbucks trip you're gonna need a cardboard cup sleeve (Free! You can get one at any Starbucks, Caribou, or Latte Land), any pattern of duck tape (You can find printed duck tape at Walmart, any craft stores,  or any hardware stores for 5 bucks or less. the Chevron printed tape I have I got at Walmart for 2 dollars and 49 cents), and scissors. 
         First, place your duck tape on your cup sleeve wrapping the end underneath onto the other side of the cup sleeve. Make sure the tape is on vertically.
       Then cut the duck tape about a centimeter away from the top of the sleeve so that u can press down the top edge.
     Press down the excess duck tape tightly underneath. By the way you should be putting the tape on the side with the logo that doesn't touch the cup when it is on.
      Your cup jacket should look like this so far! If not reread the previous steps.Then put you next row of tape on the same way as above lining up with the fist row. Repeat steps above until the sleeve is completely covered in tape. 
       Your cup sleeve should look somewhat like this! Hope you enjoy it and if this was difficult for you please write me a comment and I will try to make this easier! Thank you for reading!


    Now your ready to go! Head out to your favorite coffee place to try it out. For your information different coffee places might have different sizes of sleeves. I recommend using the same coffee sleeve as the coffee place. For example use the Starbucks coffee sleeve for your Starbucks drink. I love you guys and hope you enjoy!
