If you are a Starbucks coffee drinker then surely you've noticed that their cups and cardboard "coffee cozie" rings have creative sayings on them all year round. Especially around the holidays, these disposable items are eye catching with their warm holiday greetings printed on them. I started to save the cardboard rings and thought about what I could reuse them for. This article will show you how to make homemade gift tags out Starbucks coffee cozie rings and take advantage of the cheerful greets printing on them!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Starbucks Coffee Cozies
  • Ribbons
  • Glitter and Glue
  • Card Stock
  1. Step 1

    First step is to remember to save these coffee cozies after you are done with your morning cup of Starbucks coffee. After you start to accumulate them, you'll be able to sit down, embellish them and turn them into homemade gift tags.

  2. Step 2

    Each coffee cozie ring is glued into a circle. Gently pull apart the circle and lay the entire ring flat.

  3. Step 3

    Cut out the part of the cardboard that has the printed greeting on it. For example, this one for the holiday season says "Make Your Spirits Bright. Wish." .

  4. Step 4

    Now, adhere it to the card stock that you purchased. Embellish your homemade gift tags with glitter by running beads and dots of glue on the card stock as well as the portion of coffee cozie, sprinkle with glitter, and allow to dry overnight. Its important not to move your handmade gift tag so that the glitter and glue set up and harden.

  5. Step 5
    Finished Recycled Gift Tag!

    Punch a hole at the corner of the homemade gift tag so that you can run a piece of ribbon through it and tie it to your gift. Once you've done this to all of your gift tags you will have a supply to use throughout the holiday season. Homemade gift tags with beautiful and festive sayings on them will dress up all of your holiday gifts this season. Look around at other items that you use on a daily basis and you will find that you can reuse many of them and turn them into something great!
