This fabric koozies or bottle wraps is a quick, fun, and scrap-friendly project that’s perfect for summer gatherings, picnics, or thoughtful handmade gifts. These cozy little wraps are designed to keep your drinks cool and your hands dry, while also adding a splash of personality and color to any beverage. Ideal for using up small pieces of leftover fabric, fabric koozies allow you to play with prints, textures, and even seasonal or themed designs. Whether you’re working with cotton, canvas, or insulated batting like Insul-Bright, the construction is simple: sew a rectangle large enough to wrap around your bottle or can, sandwiching a layer of insulation in between an outer fabric and a soft inner lining. Secure the edges with binding or a simple turn-and-topstitch method, and add a closure like Velcro, snaps, or elastic to make it adjustable and easy to remove. These koozies can be customized for different bottle or can sizes, and their washable, reusable nature makes them an eco-friendly alternative to disposable options. Not only are they functional, keeping drinks cooler for longer in the summer heat, but they also add a handmade touch to parties, barbecues, or outdoor adventures. Plus, they make fantastic last-minute gifts—just bundle a few in fun fabrics and pair them with a favorite beverage for a creative, practical present. The majority of the work involves cutting fabric, pinning the fabric pieces together, a little ironing, and some manual button sewing. Wouldn’t these be fun to make for a bridal shower/bachelorette party? Or maybe as a gift to your wedding attendees for the bus ride after the ceremony?!? A hostess gift for a backyard BBQ this summer?? So many possibilities!!
