How to make coffee cup ornaments

Coffee cup ornaments look so real you would almost want to drink them – but don’t because it’s not real coffee. The white caulking looks just like whipped cream. Keep reading to find out how to make your own adorable ornaments.

Supplies

• Mini red solo cup
• 1” styrofoam balls
• White caulking
• Piping bag with a 1A tip
• Paper straw
• Brown 3D paint
• Hot glue gun
• Bakers twine

Coffee Ornament instructions

1. Glue two styrofoam balls into the cup.

2. Fill the piping bag with caulking and pipe it onto the top of the cup in a swirl.

3. Drizzle brown paint over the caulking. Use different colors of brown to make it look like chocolate and caramel.

4. Cut a 1” piece from the straw and glue it to the top of the cup.

5. Create a loop with baker’s twine and glue inside of the straw for hanging.
6. Decorate with an embellishment on the cup if desired. I used a snowflake foam sticker for this ornament.

Craft Variations

• Trade out the snowflake sticker for other holiday foam stickers.
• Use a green straw to replace the red straw.
• Use a green solo cup instead of red for the base.
