Although they are a fun way of representing a virus capsule, iscosahedral tea cozies are a challenge to make! I started by constructing a paper mock-up around my teapot, identifying which corners needed cutting so there would be gaps for the spout and handle to fit through. I found four inch triangles to be about the right size for my teapot (with added 5/8in borders for good measure). I salvaged the fabric from old jeans, and I’ll use the zippers for a closure mechanism around the handle. Now for the hard part: sewing!
I have that exact same black tea pot in my kitchen. I hope your virus-tea cozy is contagious since I wouldn’t mind catching it for my own pot.
Also, that’s a brilliant idea to use jean material. Indigo in my opinion goes down as THE color of the 20th century. And it’s in the running for this century, too!
