  1. Choose the paper, I like to use two different designs or colors.
  2. Make the template. Cut one of the Coffee Sleeves apart into one back and two sides. Once cut apart, I trim a little off. I do this on all sides. It will give me a border for the coffee sleeve to show. Now its time to trace the patterns onto the paper and cut out. If you are an inker like me, I ink all off the paper edges now.
  3. Glue your cut out and inked paper to the sleeve.
  4. Don't for get to glue on the back piece.
  5. Any kind of glue will work,or double side tape.
  6. I stained a chipboard gingerbread boy from Gina's Designs brown. Once the stain was dry, I painted the edges with a little white gesso. I used my finger to add the gesso.
  7. Glue the Gingerbread boy to the front of the coffee sleeve.
  8. I painted the vest blue and inked the edges. The vest came with the Gingerbread boy.
  9. At this point the project is done! Just add a few buttons to the vest.
