Start saving your k-cups!! I saw this idea on Pinterest (along with tons of other cute things to make with used k-cups - I'm sure I'll be making more things with them in the future) and immediately started saving the cups every morning. (In case you don't know, K-cups are the coffee pod things that go inside a Keurig one cup coffee maker.) They are just little white plastic cups, with a filter attached inside holding coffee grounds - after you've made your coffee just peel of the foil top and remove the filter and grounds, then rinse and dry the cup. After you've saved up a few of them you'll be able to make this super cute ghost garland in time for Halloween.
So easy - I just drew faces on the cups using a fat sharpie marker. Cut a few little slits around the hole that gets poked into the bottom of the k-cup when you make your coffee and stick a mini light strand bulb inside - continue for as long as your light strand is, or however long you want it. I did every other light bulb and it looks great... how cute is this idea?
This is a super super easy fast inexpensive Halloween craft - I lightly sketched on a face with pencil, traced the outline and filled it in with a giant black sharpie. That's it! Took me maybe 2 minutes tops. I love how this turned out. For the seasonal display table at Ronda's studio I stood it up on a pretty scrolly easel but I'm sure you can think of lots of ways to display it. I'm not into "scary" Halloween decorating (obviously - go back and see all the things I made last October and the goriest thing is probably the dripping "blood" candle. click here for that post), I like cute and mildly creepy so this is perfect for me! Try it - easy and cute!
