New! Upcycled Burlap Coffee Cozies by TreeTrekker

Hola! Long time since I've blogged, but I have been hard at work creating eco-friendly merchandise for all you coffee lovers out there! I finally started my very own Etsy store, http://www.etsy.com/shop/TreeTrekker, where I will be featuring all my new merchandise! Currently I am selling my Upcycled Burlap Coffee Cozies and will be adding new merchandise soon, like; candles, candle holders, wrist warmers, ear candles, aprons & bags of many sorts! Of course all of these items will be handmade with love by myself and the TreeTrekker team.
Upcycled Burlap Coffee Cozies are a great gift for the holiday's, and perfect for stocking stuffers. I got the idea for making these from a friend who brought me a cozy from a trip! I started thinking of ways to make these original and kitchy. One of my favorite materials to work with is felt, as it can come in many colors, can be used for anything, and is almost art in itself. I also wanted to make sure that most of my materials were upcycled (Def.: Re-using products and materials to create something new!) so I decided, what better way than using burlap coffee sacks!

My favorite feature is, you will never be surprised by drinking your friends tea instead of your coffee again! Always know which cup is yours with your own personalized Upcycled Burlap Coffee Cozy.
Made to order, each Cozy is constructed of upcycled burlap and felt. Upcycled Burlap Coffee Cozies are double layered so you will never burn your hands.

So go ahead! Check out my new Etsy store featuring some of the new items that I've created.
