Up-cycle those koozies for your summer drinks!

My family has so many koozies, the insulated drink holders.  Most of them have ugly writing on them, with the names of businesses or election candidates.  I grew tired of looking at all these - and advertising for these randoms - and decided to get crafty.  Though these are nothing fancy and far from my best, this is an easy project using materials that almost everyone has - and just in time to dress up those drab koozies you've accumulated this summer!

From the overflowing bin where my parents with slight hoarding tendencies keep our mass of koozies, I picked out a few in coordinating colors and found ribbon that could be paired with them.  I started playing with what colors worked best, then applied each ribbon with Tacky Glue (that's the architecture student in me!  Plus, hot glue usually dries with a raised texture that would be visible beneath the ribbon.). And voila!  Fun koozies for your summer get-togethers.

Let me know if you try this at home - I'd love to see your "new" koozies!
