To save on disposable cardboard cup sleeves, the new fad now is to invest in a cute, stylish reusable sleeve. A few months ago, I saw patterns and instructions for one of these on Cut out and Keep. I thought, “Oh, how cute,” and bookmarked it. I still haven’t made one, even though I have just the right fabric.
Lucky for me, I discovered I can buy one online for a reasonable price. And there are all kinds of them available: knitted, embroidered, quilted, fabric, etc….
I’m amused by the irony of using a reusable cloth cup sleeve on a disposable coffee cup. Oh well, it sums up rather neatly the challenge of being consistently green. If you are interested in getting one, check them out over at IndieFixx.com or on Etsy.com. If price isn’t an option for you, or if you plan to make your own, Real simple has a pretty pricey version that comes with a nifty little built in change pocket that is worth checking out.

They also have great reusable coffee sleeves over at http://www.CupKozy.com !
It’s the only one I haven’t lost yet because it attaches to your keychain. I had purchased one of those regular quilted sleeves and lost it right away. D’oh!
