Pumpkin Spice Felt Travel Cup Wrap Using Cricut

If you're anything like me, once fall hits, it's full-on pumpkin spice season - and what better way to celebrate than with a cute handmade cup wrap? This DIY project is super simple, totally customizable, and makes your cozy beverages even cozier. Let’s jump in and make one together.

Materials:

• 2 sheets craft felt, brown and tan
• Cricut FabricGrip Mat
• Cricut Maker
• Cricut Rotary Blade
• Cricut Iron-on, orange
• Cricut EasyPress Mini Heat Press Machine

Cut out two of the wrap designs from craft felt - I used two different colors for mine: one in brown and one in tan to give it a bit of contrast. I used my Cricut Maker along with the Rotary Blade and a FabricGrip mat to get nice clean cuts through the felt.

But don’t worry if you don’t have that exact setup! You can absolutely use any Cricut machine to cut the pattern out of paper first, and then just trace it onto your felt and cut it out with scissors. The shape is simple enough that hand-cutting works just fine too.

Next, go ahead and cut out the 'Pumpkin Spice' phrase using Cricut Iron-On in a color that stands out. I went with a nice orange for that classic fall look. Once it's cut, weed the vinyl to remove any excess pieces, leaving just the design. Then, place it right in the center of the brown felt wrap and use your heat press or iron to transfer it.

To make sure your vinyl sticks perfectly and lasts, follow the step-by-step instructions from the Cricut Heat Guide or the Cricut Heat App - whichever one works with the heat press or iron you're using. These tools will tell you exactly what temperature to set and how long to press for, based on your materials. It really takes the guesswork out and helps make sure your design is securely applied.

Now it’s time to assemble the wrap! Start by placing the brown felt piece with the design on top of the lighter brown felt piece, lining them up as evenly as you can. Then, using some orange embroidery floss, stitch the two layers together. I used a simple blanket stitch because it adds a nice decorative touch, but feel free to use whatever stitch you’re comfortable with. Start by stitching along the top and bottom long edges to secure the layers together. Once that’s done, bring the short ends together and stitch them in place.

You’ll end up with a cozy little wrap that fits snugly around a cup - perfect for those pumpkin spice lattes!
