Koozies

Nothing says summer like koozies.  I have made a few this summer and have had a great time doing them with both rhinestones and heat transfer vinyl.  I made a set of eight WE Fest koozies for a friend; four for men and four for women.   Here is what the men's style looked like:
front                                                  back
The front of the men's and the women's styles looked the same.  But the women needed a little bling on the back. These are hard to photograph because they are so sparkly!! 
The font for the names and 2012 on all of these is LD Shelly print.  You can get it from Lettering Delights for $3 or $12.95 for a commercial license here.  I really like this font.  I usually beef it up a little bit using my cutting software.

The template for the cowboy hat can be downloaded from Rhinestone Artwork for FREE here.  It is set up for 10ss stones.  It is one of the free files they have, they also have several for $1. 

I got my koozies from blank koozies.  There is no minimum order amount, they have a variety of colors and you can mix and match colors for a volume discount.  Craft vinyl is another option for koozies.  I like to have a couple of sources so I can shop shipping charges, and depending on how many I am ordering, one may be a better deal over the other.

Thanks for looking!!
