rainy day diy.

we are all still getting to know each other here in cleverkristy land but something you might have seen coming is that i am a coffee LOVER. like looooove.  like cant eat cant sleep reach for the stars over the fence world series kind of love.  got it?  good.  so whenever i see something that has anything to do with coffee, im all over it.  and there is NEVER  better time to make a hot cup o' joe, then when its all grey and rainy outside. 


how this clever idea came about
i was amazon surfing my favorite key words and happened upon coffee stencils.  for those of you who dont know what they are, SHAME ON YOU.  haha, jk this is what they are:


dont you love them!!!  and for just 4 easy payments of $5.00, plus s&h, they can be yours!  well... i immediately thought i can do that.  I searched through my house for inspiration to come.  it didnt. i got back online and searched the stencils and found a lot of plastic ones that other people had made. JACKPOT. hello plastic wonton soup cup from last week.






diy caffeine happiness tools
exacto knife 
plastic - old togo container, top to your margarine, a deli lid... top of a pringles can. you get the point.
cappuccino - frothy goodness 
coco powder 



draw a design on the lid.  use the exacto knife to cut it out.  hellooooo cute!
