Project: Beer Cozies
$2 processing fee, please
This seems to be one of America’s greatest products (made in China, of course) widely used by the populace to keep one’s alcoholic beverage at optimum temperature. It works on all kind of beverages from rootbeer to orange crush or something really froofy like Mike’s Hard Lemonade but ultimately: it’s used for the love and protection of beer.
In Southern California, we like to call them beer cozies, but over in Texas, they like to call them “koozies” and I hear that in other parts of the world they’re known as “can huggers” or “flagon graspers” and even the exotic “libation squeezer.”
Beer cozies have been made from neoprene, plastic and even stainless steel, but ours that we offer tonight are fashioned out of what we like to call “cell foam.” Unadorned cozies in every color of the rainbow (including pink) will be here for the taking, so bring your ideas and make someone you love a cozy today!
See you at the Craft Table,
JP Craft Captain
