Okay, so I love my keurig and I do mean Love!
(No, this is not a sponsored post- I just really love my Keurig!)
The k-cups
make it so simple to make a quick cup of coffee. But the cost conscious person that I am has a
hard time paying $10 for just 12 cups when I can buy a whole bag for the same
price and get about 30 cups of coffee.
Luckily,
there’s the My K-cup reuseable coffee filter so I can use my Keurig to make
whatever coffee I want. So, on days that
I’m not rushing I use the My K-cup. Now,
I’m clumsy, really clumsy… my husband usually takes the little man upstairs at
night- just to be safe. So, when I do
make coffee it gets all over the counter- and that’s if I haven’t dropped the
bag on the ground and spilled a whole bunch!
Anyway, I
decided I needed something more convenient (and less messy) than the bag and
decided to repurpose some old formula containers I was about to throw out.
Formula Container to Coffee Canister Tutorial:
Materials:
Primer
Black
Paint
Spray
Glue
Fabric
Scrap
Vinyl
(optional)
Ribbon
(optional)
Clean your container and separate the lid from the rest.
Paint the lid.
Spray the container with spray glue and attach the fabric scrap.
Attach pieces back together. I did put a protective coating over the black paint so it wouldn't peel.
Add Vinyl cut outs (I used Elephant and Bodoni fonts) and ribbon if you like.
Not only are these super cute but I don’t make a huge mess making coffee because the little scoop is the perfect size for the My k-cup.
Although, when I'm not using the My K-Cup I must say that Folger's makes an amazing Vanilla Biscotti K-Cup- yeah, it's as good as Starbucks but half the price!
How do you take your coffee?
Do you have a favorite brand/flavor?
I love this!! Adorable.
ReplyDeleteI drink my coffe all dolled up...2 tsp of creamer and a sweet n low.
I got my Keurig for Christmas...and I'm not sure how I live without it.
Well Melissa that is just as cute as can be! I love the bow too! I have 2 cans of spray adhesive that I've yet to try, but you've given me some courage! Now if I just had a Keurig!! Right now, I'm 2-3 cup a day drinker and I put a tiny bit of Sugar In The Raw in it and Coffee Mate...unless I've been baking and have real cream!!
ReplyDeleteThese are super cute and I am one of those weird people that doesn't drink coffee. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteWay to recycle / 'upcycle' those formula containers. I'm impressed! Thanks so much for linking up to the "Spring Fling" party over at I Gotta Create! <3

Great project! I've never seen a formula cannister shaped like this, but I don't have kids so it's not something I shop for :)
ReplyDeleteI love the label that you made - thank you for including your fonts!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute easy project!
ReplyDeleteI have to have my coffee in the AM!

Cute! Reusing everyday things is so fun, love the colors you picked
ReplyDeleteI am ALWAYS trying to find a way to reuse these!!! THANK you for linking up to SLEEPY SUNDAY!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I love my morning coffee, I'm a traditional, paper filter drip kind of girl. I love Starbucks but normally go with Costco's World Blend. It's $11.99 for like a 2.5 lb bag, so it's by far the best value I've found :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this at Drab to Fab last week!
This week’s party which is live right now!

We use the little formula scoop for the My K Cup, too! It works perfectly, doesn't it? We use Similac but the store brand, so I'm going to use your idea on those containers instead. Thanks!
