This cozy is stretchy, so it can be used on cans, glass bottles, and water bottles too!
It is insulated and water repellent, so the drink stays nice and cold and your hands don’t get wet from the “sweat” (this is a husband tested and approved message).
And the best part is, it’s a super easy pattern!
The Team Pride Drink cozy is the perfect gift giving pattern for the hard to buy for people in your life!
While this pattern only comes with an american football and star applique options, you can add any embellishments you like!
Have a giftee that’s not into sports? No problem, just choose their favorite colors and add a cute button or make an adorable applique!
The Team Pride Drink Cozy is really just a base pattern for any theme, such as Christmas!
This bottle cozy would also be perfect for camping trips, because it’s super lightweight and portable! They fold up and store easily, unlike a thick foam drink cozy.

OK, you had me because of the blue and white with the star. Did I miss the star pattern? I need to make about a bazillion of these!
Hi Becky!
I think I removed the star pattern years ago because of a collaboration I was involved with. Due to potential copyright infringement, they wanted it removed.
Here are the instructions:
