In my ongoing quest to re-use my obscene number of used K-Cups, I have come up with another cute K-Cup craft! You probably remember my K-Cup Jingle Bells and my K-Cup Noise Makers. Well now, I’ve made some K-Cup Candy Critters!
These cute little critters are a perfect Valentine treat and they are super easy to make!
For each K-Cup Candy Critter:
- An empty K-Cup (cleaned and dried)
- 1 piece of construction paper
- 1 pipe cleaner
- 2 poms
- 2 googly eyes
- 1 festive foam sticker
- Candy for filling (I used Sweethearts
)
- Scissors and glue
The first thing you do is cut a heart out of the construction paper. You’ll want to make sure that your heart will completely cover the top of your empty k-cup. Next, fill the k-cup with candy and line the rim with glue. Gently place the heart on the k-cup and then let it dry completely before flipping it over and continuing.
Next, you will want to assemble and glue the eyes on to your critter!
Once the eyes have dried, you’ll want to bend and add your antennae! I simply bent the pipe cleaner in half, formed the ends in to hearts and then stuck it into the premade hole in the k-cup. No need for glue, it will fit right in.
After that, apply your festive sticker to “dress” your critter and you will be done!
A perfect little K-Cup craft that ends with an adorable Valentine filled with treats! On Valentine’s Day, let your Valentine pull off the heart and enjoy the candy inside of these K-Cup Candy Critters!

I keep forgetting to save used K-Cups around here for projects such as this. Great job once again, Echo 🙂
Thanks Janine! This one was really fun!
I love these! I’ve been saving old kcups so that I can craft with them since you started showing yours :).
Awesome, Herchel! I’d love to see what you come up with! I thought these turned out so cute!
I don’t have k cups but our paper cups will do just fine. And score I have all the supplies to do this right now. Thank you! Pinning!
Woo-hoo! You’ll have to show me how they turn out!
These are so adorable!! I am one of the only people that still use a regular old coffee pot!! haha!
Little dixie cups or paper cups could work too!
Those are TOO cute! I love the idea!
Thanks Becka! I thought they turned out cute!
So cute! And it looks easy enough for even me to do right! 😉
Very easy! 😉
These are SO cute and definitely a craft that the kids would love making.
Thanks for linking up to Marvelous Monday on Smart Party Planning.
They are super fun!
this is an amazing project for cups, i didnt think i could come up with anything as creative
Thanks Zaby!
Love these and a perfect way to use ALL the K Cups! Linking up from Marvelous Monday.
Yes! Use them instead of tossing them!
These are cute! I think each and every one of the candies would be licked before being glued. That is how my kids tend to do crafts…..
Well, you don’t want glue on these candies anyway! 😉
These are seriously cute. I bet this would be a great way to do a Valentine’s Day craft with the kids.
They are super fun and quite simple!
These K Cup Critters are adorable! Perfect project to work on with the kids.
I would love if you shared that at my 14 Days of Valentine Craft Link Up – http://eyeloveknots.blogspot.com/2015/02/14-days-of-valentine-inspired-craft.html.
Thank you and I already stopped by to link up!
What an adorable craft! Looks like the instructions are super clear and easy to follow. My kids would love it!
Thanks! I tried to make them as easy as possible!
This looks really cute and easy to do. This would be great decors and table centerpiece.
I have them on my mantle right now!
This is such a cute project. I love the critters’ big pink shoes! These things are awesome!
Aren’t they cute?!
Thank you visiting Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party this week and sharing your post! I have pinned your post to the BBPP Pinterest Board. Have a fabulous week!

What a fun way to use the K-Cups! My daughter and son would like doing this one!
It’s so much fun!
Those are so cute and very creative! I would of never thought of doing that. Excellent.. Gonna try this with my kiddos!
I hope you enjoy it!
Oh my gosh those are adorable!!! I love that they are made from recycled K cups!
That is so cute! such a nice way to engage kids and create something that they can give for valentines day.
These are so amazing. Can I come over for craft night lol?
This is such a cute idea! I’m sure it justifies your coffee addiction! Lol
This would be such a great rainy day craft! Not just as a valentines love bug, but as just a fun candy (or surprise inside) bug. Thanks for sharing.
these are the cutest little critters I’ve ever seen! I am definitely going to do this craft with my nieces when I see them!
What a clever idea for the leftover Kcups. I admit I have way to many that we could make quite a few candy critters! Thanks for the tutorial, I’m sure the kids would love this.
These might just be cutest things I have ever seen. I go through a lot of K cups so I can make a bunch of them with the kids
This is such a great craft. I love creating projects for the kids to do with recycled containers and this looks super easy
This is such a sweet little craft project to do with the little ones. I think these would look so adorable sitting on my Valentines mantle.
Ohhhh! So cute! My boys and I are so going to make these, I love colourful cute crafts!
I love your K-Cup crafts Echo! They’re so cute and clever!
Thanks for sharing (and for co-hosting the #SHINEbloghop with me)!
Wishing you a lovely day.

These are really cute! I wonder if my Keurig Vue cups will work the same. They’re a different shape and size, but it’s worth a try right? Thanks for linking up at the Wake Up Wednesday link party! Hope to see you next week! Kate | The Organized Dream
This is seriously the best idea ever!! I waste too many k-cups!!!
