Youtube video channel known as “Inspire to Make” offers a slew of impeccable, high definition do it yourself tutorials. Try out one for yourself by creating a leather coffee cup sleeve using faux leather fabric from MJTrends.

First, begin by laying out all of your leather fabric. You’ll want to use a cardboard coffee sleeve as a pattern, typically like the ones found on cups from Starbucks or other coffee shops.
Trace the outline of the cardboard coffee sleeve with a pen onto the leather fabric.
Use an exacto blade and work carefully to cut out your pattern from the fabric. For this tutorial, he added a signature extra, like a metal shield icon as a design on the side.
After cutting out this extra piece, he sanded the edges lightly and attached securely using a needle and durable thread.
Take the needle and thread to secure each ends of the sleeve together with simple stitching. The final product looks luxe, incredibly high quality and hard to believe that it’s hand crafted from an oh-so-easy DIY.

The gold shield design looks superb, and you can really let your imagination run wild when it comes to additional accents for the side. Get creative! You can inscribe a short handwritten phrase, like “But First, Coffee” or “I Love You More Than Coffee”, if you’re feeling sentimental. Thinking of creating a few as gift? You can even write out the name of a friend or the initials of a loved one. Make sure to look through our wide array of veggie leather fabric options before you get started.
