So awhile back, I showed you all some pretty sweet beer coozies that I made out of recycled wool sweaters. DISCLAIMER: MY MAN WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT IT WAS HIS IDEA. I had decided not to sell them online for a smattering of reasons, most of all because they never really felt finished. I’m pretty big on quality and something about them just didn’t sit right.
Well, now it does.
Though the wool is felted and will not fray, there was something about having a raw edge there at the top that was bothering me. I’ve finally found a way to resolve that little dilemma with a bit of fancy, stretchy trim.
It provides a finished, clean edge without compromising the function of the coozie. In fact, it makes it even better because it prevents the top edge from stretching out over time.
Lookin’ pretty sharp for a beer, eh?
And yes, you can buy them. I give in. Coming soon!
