Tutorial: Ice cream carton cozy

Kyla from Funky Polkadot Giraffe guest blogs in the Bake, Craft & Sew Along at Skip To My Lou with a tutorial showing how to make an ice cream carton cozy. It’s like a coffee cozy, but instead of protecting one’s hands from a hot cup, this is for the folks who like to each ice cream out of the carton. The cozy wraps around the carton to keep your hands from turning to ice cubes while you scoop a little snack. Go to Skip To My Lou to find her tutorial.
