Anyone else have a random assortment of paper cups in their cupboards? It seems every time we host a party there's just a few left over cups. Which always begs the question, what to do with them? The answer, turn them into cute little gift boxes. These boxes are easy to make and only take minutes to do, promise. Supplies:
Paper Cups
Scissors
Tape or Glue
Label or Sticker
First you will need a standard paper cup like this one. Any size will do.
Cut off the lip of the cup, refer to picture.
Fill cup with cookies, candy, etc. Fold the strips down, one at a time.
Once all the strips are down, tape them down to seal the box.
Tape or glue a label to the top to hide the tape. Done
* Heart print cups would make cute boxes for Valentine Day treats.

Well, that is just so cute and clever. What a great way to use up those leftover cups. I think my 7-year-old could pretty much do this herself and she will love it!
I love that! So smart. Thanks for sharing!
Could these be ANY cuter?? I think not. Heart cups are on my shopping list now!
LOVE your new look.
A fantastic idea! And do easy to realize. Thank you.

cute+easy+cheap=GREAT!!! thank you for the idea :-)
Brilliant. I will add it into my list for kids craft.
This is so cute and such a great idea! Definitely better than having miscellaneous cups clutter up your space or throwing them out. I kind of want to try this out right now, but I don't have any paper cups lying around at the moment (boo)!
That is adorable! Thanks for the idea!! I wonder how it could be used for an advent calendar...
Darling idea! Love the idea of them for Valentines Day too!
I will definitely be experimenting with this idea. Thanks!!!
Adorable as always. :)
Love the new look!
What a great idea! Thank you for sharing.
Brilliant!
I love this idea. You must have looked in MY cupboards because I have that assortment of paper cups of which you speak :) And I'm often giving small gnomes or brooches as gifts, so these would be perfect. Thanks for a great idea. I'll be linking on Facebook.
Gorgeous! Where did you find that mushroom stamp? I'd love one as a gift for my frenchloving friend.

That is such a simple but gorgeous idea - the only problem is I'm tempted to go buy some paper cups just to try it and that sort of misses the point! :D

what an idea ... I love it .. thank you for sharing
Very clever idea. It would also look cute with a bow on top instead of the label. Great way to use items that would otherwise be cluttering up your space. (if you don't have a use for small gift boxes, you can always drink from those leftover cups too! lol)
what a clever and cute way to recycle :)
