How to Make a Super Cool Coffee Cup Rose

Upcycle a boring coffee cup into a beautiful flower! No need to water these pretty posies from Heidi Borchers - you can make paper flowers out of recyclable materials instead. Learn how to make a super cool coffee cup rose and go green.

Next time you have a few extra paper cups and cardboard sleeves, create your own bouquet of roses. Use acrylic paint to acheive the right color saturation for your flower. In addition to paint, you'll need a wooden skewer and some Aleene's Tacky Glue - that's it! This is a super simple craft idea that looks great. Trick yourself into thinking it's spring even when the temperature dips below zero.
