Coffee Mug with Lid and Faux Leather Sleeve.

At the moment I'm working on projects that you can use instead of small gift bags. This is the same base, as I used for my gift buckets, except I made it an inch taller. (4 inches)

The coffee sleeve design I got from HandmadeHome on YT.

I used a stamp for the background and added some old dictionary paper here and there.

The inside.

For the inside lid I used the free printables from Maureen Astrid.

I used a napkin for the lid and sides.

I used brads for the sides and on my handle.

For the faux leather I just wet the cardstock a bit and then crumble it gently. When you unfold it, use an acrylic block and gently go over it to flatten it out. When it's dry I went over it with ground espresso ink. I sealed it with a mixture of glue and water and some food coloring, that made my glue mixture brown.
