Coffee Cup Purse
Intro: Coffee Cup Purse
STEP 1: Materials
1. paper, not styrofoam, coffee cups (i used a little more than 9 16 oz cups)
2. string i used embriodery floss
3. some ceramic coffee cups
4. coffee cup sleeve or whatever you call it
5. 1 button
6. some hot glue
7. some kind of elastic string like a rubber band or a hair tie
STEP 2: Taking Apart the Cups
STEP 3: The Panels
take what you made in the first step this step depends on how many cups you used. i overlapped 2 cups one detailed and one detailed and one white. i secured the two by hot glueing them together at the corners. i did this twice and then secured them with glue at the corners and sewed the two panels together. ( how confused are you) do this for all 3 panels. the back and the part under the flap being slightly longer.
STEP 4: Attach the Panels
Take a cup and take it apart like in the first step. Make sure it is as tall as the back and the flap are wide. If not take apart another and sew them together. When you sew this piece to the 2 panels to the piece you just made make sure it goes with the bend in the cup so it bends easier and make sure it is sewn to the top of the flap and the back this is the top of the bag.Do the same thing you just did to sew the back to the part under the flap. just make sure the bottom is sewn to the bottom of the part behind the flap and the bottom of the back.

There are a few ways to make the busted coffee mugs less sharp. One way is to sand the edges for a while or grind them on a flat abrasive surface like a rock. Don't breath the dust; it will cut your lungs if you breath a lot.
Another way is to put glue on the sharp parts to round them off a bit.
