We all have had a favorite mug that accidentally got
chipped while washing the dishes. I transformed my damaged mug into a desk
organizer hiding the chip with a T-shirt fabric sleeve.
Materials:
 |
| BushcraftZ 2014 |
- Coffee mug (with a chip)
- Matching T-shirt fabric remnant
- Ribbon off-cut
- Wood clothes peg, trinkets for decoration
- General craft supplies including clear drying craft glue and hot glue.
Method:
- Measure the distance between the handle and top edge of the
mug. Add 5 cm to this length. Measure the circumference of the mug. Use these
measurements to cut a piece of T-shit fabric to size. Take care that the stretch
of the fabric runs in the direction of the circumference measurement of the
mug.
BushcraftZ 2014 - Fold the fabric right side together and sew the short edges together approximately 1 cm from the edge. Turn fabric right side out.
- Cover the area between the top edge and the mug handle with
clear drying craft glue and also 5cm down the inside of the mug. Slip the
fabric cover over the top of the mug and adjust it to be in line with the
handle and fold the rest of the fabric inside. Smooth the fabric so that there
are no wrinkles. Allow glue to dry.
BushcraftZ 2014 - Use ribbon to trim the fabric edge. Add decorations. I added an crochet flower in matching colours
- Decorate the wood peg with ribbon and use hot glue to glue
it onto the handle to complete the desk organizer.
