I’ve had this teacup/coffee mug for a while. It’s a Salvo find from a friend.
There is only one and it has a small rust spot in the bottom.
It’s been kicking around the craft room for a while, usually holding some fabric scraps or trim.
I’ve been on a craft purge and anything that doesn’t serve a purpose gets the ax.

So I gave it a purpose

These are probably 100 variations on this but I’ll share my method anyway.

You need:
-Cup
-Stuffing
-Fabric
-Rubber Band
Cut the fabric larger than you think you need. 
Pack the mug with stuffing. 
It won’t stay without the fabric but you’ll get a general idea of how much you need.
Wrap the stuffing up in the fabric. Try to get it circular, tug on the fabric until you’re happy.

Secure with a rubber band.
Pop it in the mug and you’re good to go!
