INSPIRATION
I am one of those people that has their Christmas shopping list made and has already started shopping before it’s even Thanksgiving. I always have a few people on my list that I buy gift cards for; my Bunco ladies, neighbors, party hostesses and my family stockings. Coffee house gift cards just might be the most popular gift cards of the season and Starbucks is always my go-to card. I even keep a few on hand for those unexpected “I need a quick gift” that seem to pop-up year after year.
When the new Starbucks holiday cups came out this season the idea for these adorable coffee cup gift card holders came to mind! Who wouldn’t want to get a Starbucks, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Peet’s Coffee or Dutch Bros Coffee gift card in this totally cute holder. You can even add a hanging string at the top and make a 2-in-1 gift turning this gift card holder into an ornament too!!

ASSEMBLY
Attaching Novelty Button to Faux Logo Circle
Sew or glue your novelty button to the center of the faux logo circle.
My snowflake button did not have a back loop for sewing so I had to glue it on.

Stitching Faux Logo Circle to Coffee Cup Sleeve
Center your faux logo circle to the coffee cup sleeve and pin it in place. Thread your tapestry needle with paddy green or cafe latte yarn and come up from behind the sleeve and circle to begin stitching the two together (left photo).
Stitch all the way around the middle of the circle securing it to the sleeve. From the backside of sleeve, tie your two tails in a knot (middle photo). Weave in tails.
Finished logo attached to sleeve (right photo).

Stitching Coffee Cup Sleeves to Coffee Cup
Coming up about 1 1/8″ from the bottom of the coffee cup, take both coffee cup sleeves and place the one with the logo circle on the frontside of the coffee cup and the other sleeve behind the coffee cup. With the frontside facing you, line up the left side of sleeve edges together, just outside the edge of the coffee cup and pin the sleeves together (left photo).
Thread your tapestry needle with buff yarn and begin stitching the left side of the two sleeves together. Make sure you don’t go through the coffee cup while you’re stitching, you want to stitch the sleeve edges only (middle photo).
Once you have finished stitching the left side of the sleeves together (right photo) and before you continue stitching the bottom side of the sleeves together, gently pull the right side of the sleeves out over the edge of the coffee cup and pin the sleeve edges in place just like you did for the left side of the sleeves.

Begin stitching the bottom of the sleeves together, this time going through the coffee cup too, stitching all three pieces together (left photo).
As your needle comes through the frontside, make sure to curl up the edge of the logo circle so it doesn’t get stitched down with buff yarn (middle photo).
Continue stitching up the right side of the sleeves, making sure not to go through the coffee cup while stitching this side.
NOTE: you will not be stitching the top part of the sleeves to the coffee cup. The top of the backside sleeve will be left open because this is where the gift card will slip into.
To finish off the stitching, weave your tails through all of the side stitching (right photo), then cut off any remaining tail.
Because you do not want any buff yarn stitches showing through the backside, you will want to glue the top of the frontside sleeve to the coffee cup.

Stitching Coffee Cup Lids to Coffee Cup
Take both coffee cup lids and coming down about 3/4″ from the top of the coffee cup place one on the frontside of the cup and one on the backside. Pin the lids in place together.
With the frontside of the coffee cup facing you, line up the right side edges of the lids together, just outside the edge of the coffee cup, and begin stitching through the lid and coffee cup edges together (left photo).
Continue stitching up on over and across the top of the lids and down the left side of the lid edges.
Stitch across the bottom of the lids going through the coffee cup so that you are stitching through all three pieces (middle photo).
Once you have finished the bottom edge stitching both tails should be at the same right side end. Tie them together in a knot and then weave in tails.
