My favorite kinds of crafts are ones that can be made from recycled materials. This craft
put my old, used K-Cups to good use. I created a two-week countdown chart using
fourteen K-Cups. Inside each cup is a note that will tell my family something special we will
do on our upcoming Disney trip. Not only was this craft inexpensive and easy to do, it
could be used over and over again.

For this craft, you will need:
14 K-Cups, cleaned and dried
Disney-themed scrapbook paper
Vinyl Mickey heads (cut with a Mickey-shaped punch)
Number stickers
Wooden Frame
Hot glue gun
14 slips of paper

Directions:
Once you decide to make this chart, start collecting K-Cups. As the only coffee drinker in
my family, it took me some time to have a good collection. When you have enough, clean
each cup. Start by peeling off the seal. You’ll then have to pull out the filter. This is the
hardest part, but try to get as much of the filter out as possible. Wash and dry the inside
of each cup.

Next, get the notes ready. While I used activities for our next trip on my notes, that’s not
the only thing you can do. Other suggestions include:
Walt Disney World Fun Facts
A movie for each night leading up to the trip
Disney-themed activities to do each day
