My favorite TV time is Shark Week! I love sharks~lol...
In honor of my rough and ready fishy buddies, and the incredible HEAT we are experiencing, I made beverage cozies, to keep condensation to a minimum. AND, they look cute, too! They are designed to slide your beverage right into the sleeve~with enclosed bottom~and fit most standard sized bottles OR cans! FOLLOW ME FOR THE FREE PATTERN~ |
