I started with cleaned fruit cups and filled them with treats.
I'll show you three different ways to turn these cups into treat cups.
With one of the cups I covered the top with mesh and clear gift wrap.
Then I wrapped it down around and tied a piece of ribbon around it.
The next treat cup I put in a zippy bag and closed it up.
I tied a piece of ribbon around the bag and trimmed off the top of the bag. To make it easy to pull together I poked a little hole in it to let the air out as I pulled the ribbon together.
The third I laid on a piece of tissue paper.
I pulled it up around the treat cup and tied a piece of ribbon around it.
So there you have it. Not too hard or fancy but adds a nice touch to a treat. I did these for Valentine's Day but ,of course, they can be used for any occasion, even as birthday treats. So, start saving those little fruit cups! They'll come in handy sometime!!!
so creative thanks for the post
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Deanne!! I have refused to buy these because of the waste, now I can buy them guilt free and re-use them.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for following me! You are not going to believe this--it just goes to show how small our little blogging world is--but I have a room full of recycled stuff that
ReplyDeleteI have saved to use in my altered art!
Anything cardboard, plastic, rusty, antique...I collect it! I tried to open another site just for tutorials on how to recycle items to make wonderful-crafty altered art but just haven't had the time it takes to really do good tutorials.
You've done an excellent job on this blog teaching people to recylce and your imagination is limitless with the beautiful crafts you have made...like the fruit cup ideas are just awesome! How great for a wedding or baby shower! I truly believe that if more people did what you are doing, it would make a huge difference in our environment! Glad to meet you and will visit again!
Thank you so much!
