Considering these little hands keep holding the freezie, then I quickly sew the little piece ice pop holder, so they can hold it comfortably. I called it freezie cozy actually, it is much more straightforward to say.
I say it is a quick sew because it only takes five minutes to get one cozy ready, literally, just like making this felt envelope.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE FREEZIE COZY
- Cotton flannel (I use 5 pcs of fat quarters because they come in a different pattern in one bundle)
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Washable Fabric Marker
- Thread
- Pin (you might need it)
HOW TO MAKE FREEZIE COZY
- Measure the fabric by using ruler and fabric marker, mark it for 22-inch x 3- inch, it will resemble a rectangular piece.
- Cut the marked fabric, if you make more than one cozy, then cut some more rectangular pieces.
- On the wrong side of the fabric, fold it in half, take about 1/4 inch seam allowances, then sew along the edge leaving about 2 inches for the opening.
- Turn the fabric inside out through the opening.
- Now, you have the right side of the fabric, fold it in half again, and sew along both sides by the length. The opening will automatically shut when you sew the edge.
- There you have it, your freezie cozy is done. Repeat the process if you make more of it.
As you guess, my little one was so excited as soon as I give her this cozy. Her small hand won’t get cold anymore when she is enjoying her cool treat.
I use the cotton flannel for this simple project because it is thicker than regular cotton, and I don’t need batting inside. You could also use fleece for the project.
