Baby Grogu DIY Mug Cozy

There’s nothing quite like sipping your favorite hot beverage from a cozy mug, especially when it’s adorned with the adorable Baby Yoda, also known as Grogu. With this easy do-it-yourself (DIY) project, you can create your very own Baby Yoda Mug Cozy Warmer to keep your drinks hot and your hands comfy. Grab your materials and let’s get started!

Other than a Baby Yoda mug cozy being absolutely adorable, a mug cozy acts as an insulating layer between your hands and the hot beverage, helping to maintain the temperature of your drink for longer periods. No more cold or lukewarm sips! The cozy also provides a cushioned barrier, making it easier to hold your hot mug without burning your hands. It also helps to prevent condensation and keeps your fingers dry.

Materials Needed

• The mug you are making cozy for
• 1 yard of Baby Yoda/Grogu Fabric
• 1 yard of Wrap N Zap – Wrap N Zap is a specialized product used for creating microwave-safe items. It is batting made of 100% cotton fibers with a special finish that enables it to be used safely in the microwave. In our project, Wrap N Zap will serve as insulation to help keep your drink warm while protecting your hands from the heat.
• Elastic cording
• 2 large buttons
• Matching thread
• Scissors

How to Make a Grogu Mug Cozy

Step 1: Measure and Cut Start.

Begin by measuring the circumference of your mug. Add an additional 1/2 inch to account for the seam allowance. Measure the height of your mug and subtract a bit from the top and bottom to ensure a snug fit. Again, add 1/2 inch for the seam allowance. These measurements will be used to create a template for your cozy.

Step 2: Cut the Fabric and Wrap N Zap.

Using your template, cut out one piece of Wrap N Zap and two pieces of Baby Yoda fabric. The Wrap N Zap will provide insulation to keep your drink warm.

Step 3: Sewing the Cozy

Place the two fabric pieces on top of the Wrap N Zap, right sides together. Place the elastic cording on one end, creating a loop with the looped end on the inside. Pin everything in place.

Using matching thread, sew a seam around the edges of the fabric and Wrap N Zap, leaving a couple of inches open on one side. Make sure to stitch over the elastic ends several times to ensure they are secure.

Step 4: Turning and Finishing Carefully

Turn the mug cozy right side out through the opening you left. Gently push out the corners to give it a neat shape.

Turn under the fabric edges on the open side, about 1/2 inch. Press the folded edge with an iron to make it easier to sew.

Step 5: Topstitch and Button Placement

Using matching thread, top stitch around the entire cozy, close to the edge. This will give your cozy a finished look and help secure the folded edges.

Finally, hand-sew one large button on the opposite side of the elastic loop. Make sure to sew it securely, as it will act as a closure for your cozy.

Sewing Tips for this DIY Mug Warmer

• When sewing the elastic loop, reinforce the stitches by sewing back and forth over the elastic a few times. This will prevent the elastic from coming loose over time.
• Take care when turning the cozy right side out to avoid stretching or distorting the fabric. A chopstick or the blunt end of a pen can be helpful in pushing out the corners.
• Before topstitching, test the tension and stitch length on a scrap piece of fabric to ensure the stitches are balanced and the thread tension is correct.

Now, every sip from your favorite mug will be a delightful and cozy experience. This DIY project not only adds a touch of whimsy to your everyday routine but also offers practical benefits such as temperature regulation and added comfort.

Remember to remove the cozy before consuming your hot beverage and exercise caution when handling hot liquids. Embrace the warmth and let the cuteness of Baby Yoda inspire your day, one cozy sip at a time. May the Force be with you on this cozy journey!
