I am so excited to be partnering with Starbucks® for this blog post. When it comes to coffee, Starbucks® has been my go to place for years. I love that with my Keurig® I can have my favorite coffee from the comfort of my home. Now that the new Starbucks® Caffè Latte K-Cup® pods are in grocery stores nationwide, my mornings are becoming even better!
Enjoying caffè latte flavors with your Keurig® is still simple and quick. The thing that sets this apart is the two step process. Each box of K-cup® pods has additional packets that are used to create a fabulous drink for you. The packets say Step 1 on them. Make sure to pour the contents of the packet into your coffee cup prior to brewing. For Step 2 simply brew. Then stir and you are ready to enjoy.
I was giddy with excitement after taking my first few sips. That is how good the flavor is. The product is made from milk and has no artificial flavoring. After loving the caramel caffè latte I could not wait to try more flavors. In addition to caramel I was provided with samples of Mocha and Vanilla. I have not tried the two seasonal flavors, Pumpkin Spice Latte or Peppermint Mocha. I have no doubt that they are fabulous as well.

My whole life I have never been a morning person. However, I think I’m going to look forward to getting out of bed knowing that I have such tasty coffee in my home. Previously, I brewed plain coffee which was good but the caffè lattes are great!
As I am getting older I have realized how much I love DIY projects. I like challenging myself to see what I can come up with. The main appeal to DIY projects for me is being able to personalize my creations.
Recently, I was looking at a big cardboard box in my garage. I was trying to come up with an idea to reuse the cardboard. Then I decided to see if I could use the cardboard and wire hangers to create a DIY K-cup® holder. I am very pleased with the result.
Items You Will Need to make a K-Cup® holder:
Cardboard
Wire Hangers
Pliers
A Box Cutter
Paint if you wish
♥However you choose to decorate the holder is up to you.
Once you have gathered your materials decide how big you want your holder to be. I decided to make mine quite large. To help the holder stand up on its own I cut part of the right side but I made sure to only cut part of the cardboard. The cut did not go through to the other side. This way I could bend that part back and it stood on it’s own.
My bedroom is painted in my favorite color. I used that same color to paint the cardboard. While the paint was drying I used pliers to start bending the wire hangers.
Trying to straighten out the wire hanger was by far the hardest part of this project. I tried to just be patient and take my time. Once I had the wire as straight as I could get it I started bending it around a K-cup® pod.
I spent some time playing around with the wire trying to figure out the best way to make it into a holder. For the best result you want to have extra wire above and below where you make the loop. Once you have created a loop that will hold the K-cup® pods bend the excess wire so that it will go into the cardboard. I made two holes in the cardboard above and below the loop so the wire would go in easily.
Once I had the holder in place I turned the cardboard around and bent the wire down to help keep it in place. I decided to paint the wire the same color as the cardboard to help it blend in better. I knew I wanted to have a coffee related quote on there so I got some stickers from a local craft store. While I was there I saw the white lace paper and thought it would be a great addition to my holder. I topped it off with a bow.
I can see so many possibilities with this holder. If I throw a brunch in the future I can see this being perfect for a coffee station. I can see myself personalizing one to give to family and friends. You can add pictures, bible verses, anything you want.
If you have any questions I am more than happy to answer them in the comment section below.

What a cute idea! We have a stand that holds our k-cups right now, but if we ever get tired of it I’ll give this a try!

Oh my gosh! You are so crafty! Coffee looks delish too!
I love how easy the DIY was. Such an awesome idea! Starbucks aren’t available in pods here in Malaysia yet, but when they do I’m definitely doing this.
I know someone who seriously needs that K-Cup® holder! That is so cute and doubles as a great home decor item to brighten the coffee bar! -client
Haha this is the cutest thing ever!!! I wish was as crafty as you.

This is such an adorable DIY! You’re so crafty.
Oh this is neat! I usually just keep them in a drawer!
What a cute idea. This would be great for a present of coffee.
That is a fantastic idea!! I love it! I’ll try it in my home <3
This is such a great idea! I’ll keep this in mind.
This is so crafty and pretty! I tried that coffee a while ago as well and it’s fantastic
I certainly have hangers lying around with which I could make this. I love the idea!
Now that is super cool! I miss my coffee machine that used k-cups getting a new one soon!
This is great! I mean I have my kcups in a box on the counter, not aesthetically pleasing at all. This is a game changer.
Cute thrifty idea to hold k-cups. I’m trying my hardest not to buy a Keurig, but all these awesome k-cups makes it tempting.
What a great coffee holder. I love how it turned out, and it doesn’t look overly hard to do.
I love how we can do DIY on things that can come out very useful to us. Specially this cup holder which is very easy to use.
That’s such a fun idea and it’s perfect for coffee bars as well, especially if you’re hosting a party. I think it’s awesome and easy to do!
That’s adorable and I might try to make one. I threw away mine because I didn’t have space in my tiny apartment to use it.
This is so fun. I just have a little crate on my counter with Kcups this is so much cuter. I Love these mocha packs too.
What a great idea! I have k-cup holders, but they never hold enough. This would work!
WOW such a cute idea! I bet this would be great for gifts too! This is actually something I may try to craft!
This is such a great idea! I have a friend who would love this as a gift for the holidays! She keeps all of her KCups in a basket!
That is so cool that you made your own K-Cup holder. I can see you relaxing now sipping on your Starbucks coffee.
What a fun idea! I’m going to make this one.
Coffee is always a great idea!!! I love how you personalized your K cups and made a cute way to display them.
