Hello Beautiful!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend because I do! There’s a lot of excitement going on and I was so happy that I accomplished some of my tasks last weekend, which made me quite productive.
Remember when last month I have shared my Starbucks goodie bag tutorial I am so happy that it gave awesome responses from our readers worldwide, and even from Starbucks itself!
It was so good to share new DIY ideas that I believe are feasible and everyone can do it. I mean, I think we should incorporate recycling into our lifestyle because indeed it is good – it gives positive ZEN and also gives more CHI.
Last week, somebody put a CBTL brewed coffee on my desk (which means, someone, is signaling he/she needs a favor), and yeah that someone knows me well. I would be a bit cringed if that person gave me a Frappuccino, LOL.
So after I finished my free CBTL brewed coffee last Monday, I couldn’t help but think that it would be a shame to just throw these cups (let’s say a good gesture). And then I thought. Why not make another DIY tutorial, since I’ve also made one using Starbucks cups.
DISCLAIMER: This is not a sponsored post. Just my way of sharing my awesome knowledge in DIY crafting and you can’t stop moi. LOL
And hopefully, coffee drinkers would think twice about throwing their cups or just leaving them elsewhere like crumpled papers. Ah, such a headache it gives me whenever I saw coffee cups laying around abandoned on street sidewalks, parks, parking lots, etc.
It’s disgusting…
So today am going to teach you how to recycle your CBTL coffee cups into cute tea goodie boxes.
Kind of a similar procedure to my Starbucks good bag tutorial, but more kawaii.
Start unrolling the top part of the cups because we don’t need them.
We don’t want to finish it just like this, so we will add some cuteness to this coffee goodie box.
I got some little trinkets at home, like this fabric flower that I’ve made last summer, and some extra faux leaves from my previous tutorials. I’ve glued it together with this flower accessory on top of the box.
You may also add a little card with your notes to make it more personal
And voila! Is this a kind of tea goodie box you want to receive? You can make this on any theme for any occasion, all you have to do is just jazz it up with some little trinkets.
Such so easy to make right? I know you can do much better!
So start NOT THROWING YOUR CUPS and save it up!
