IF IT KEEPS HAPPENING

Start with the repeated interruption.

A sleeve or tool sweeping through the drink position during a project.

Create a separate drink area outside the project, adhesives and tool path.

Use the guides below to compare the resting surface, the fit of your exact drink, and the type of holder that matches the problem.

The interruption you know too well.

Reaching for scissors catches coffee; it wicks into a nearly finished handmade card and paper petals.

Trace the movement before choosing the holder

One scenario to check: Reaching for scissors catches coffee; it wicks into a nearly finished handmade card and paper petals. Notice what your hand was reaching for and what was beneath the container. A drink can be within reach yet still sit directly in the path of that repeated movement.

Keep coffee outside the cutting mat and the path to scissors, glue and paper. Try the reach to your most-used tool before placing the next handmade card. Test the setup with an empty container first. The entire base needs level support.

A sealed container addresses liquid escaping when tipped. A stable surface addresses support. Steadi widens the resting base of compatible drinkware; it does not replace either of those decisions. Check your exact drink fit, then use the guides below for the setup you have.
