I made a thing
I made a thing
I guess you would call this a slipcover for a K-cup box. It may very well be the silliest thing I've ever made with paper, but it made me happy. I actually am less than thrilled with the wide-ness of the ribbon I used to trim. I'll probably make another one at some point, and won't use anything that wide for trim. It's too overwhelming, and too difficult to get on straight.
I hope to get one of those k-cup drawers that you put under the keurig machine for Christmas. It will be used to hold the stuff I don't use that often, like the teas, flavored coffees, and decaf coffees. But I go through a box of Green Mountain Dark Magic about every other week, so those just stay in the box, and now the box on my counter will always be pretty!

Re: I made a thing
You know if we saw that at the store we'd go for it. Very clever and cool.

I think your "thing" is great, Julie. If I used k-cups I'd be copying your idea right now.

Cool idea! And if it makes you happy, that's the most important thing!

Re: I made a thing
Well darn it all. I bought a wire rack last night to hold the dratted things because I was tired of the boxes - now I'm thinking about digging the boxes out of the recycle stack.
See what you've started, Julie???

Re: I made a thing
Very nice "thing" Julie. Maybe you could have thing1 for coffee and thing2 for everything else.
Re: I made a thing
Thanks everyone! I've been thinking for years now how I needed to cover those ugly boxes, And if I don't get the drawer storage thing for xmas, I'll be making three more of these (or just covering the other three boxes directly). The reason for the slipcover, is because I go through Dark Magic so insanely fast, and this way I don't have to transfer all those cups every time.
