How to make a little slipper with a cup

In the DIY theme, I suggest you make a small slipper to garnish from a simple cup.

This little birth slipper can be garnished with tulle to place sugared almonds inside.
Here is already the result:

To make this slipper, you need materials.
Here is the list:
– Cups in the color of your choice.
– A pair of scissors
– A one-hole punch
– Ribbon as a lace

In picture the list of equipment

To begin, you must carefully cut the cup a third of its height from the top.

In picture what this gives:

Once this cut is made, you must make two vertical cuts spaced approximately 3 to 4 centimeters apart and stopping approximately two centimeters from the bottom of the cup.

Like this:

You must then use the hole punch to make the holes for the “lace” (Ribbon) to pass through on each side of the central tab.

Here is :

Now we pass the ribbon through the two holes, making sure to pass it in front of the tab obtained by the cutouts and not behind and we tighten gently to obtain the result below.

Like this:

Then, make a nice loop to obtain the final result.

Recycling your plastic cups: an essential civic act

With a little imagination and elbow grease, it is entirely possible to give a second life to your plastic cups. But after making slippers, or after regular use, don’t forget that it is more essential than ever to recycle your cups properly to preserve the environment.

Fortunately, it is becoming easier and less restrictive to recycle your cups, particularly for businesses. This service of plastic cup recycling, for example, was designed to make life easier for businesses and to optimize overall recycling.
