Organize beads and findings for jewelry by upcycling yogurt cups (btw, the yogurt doesn't necessarily have to be low in fat).

You Will Need (7 things)

  • 1 Pen(s)
  • Awl
  • Scissors
  • Ribbon
  • Masking Tape
  • Yarn
  • Yogurt Cups

Steps (8 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Use an awl to make a pilot hole just above the lowest bar of the barcode.

  2. 2

    Insert scissors in the pilot hole and cut around the cup.

  3. 3

    Apply masking tape around the rim of the base. Snip tabs in the upper portion of the tape. Fold the tabs over and onto the inside of the cup.

  4. 4

    See the 6 darts under the cup? They will help form a sort of lock.

  5. 5

    Turn the cup right-side up. Pass some light through it so you can see the shadow of the darts. With a pen, make tick marks on the tape.

  6. 6

    Cut triangular notches at each tick mark.

  7. 7

    Decorate all but one of the cups with ribbon or yarn up to the bottom of the tape. The remaining cup can be decorated all the way to the rim, and it will serve as the top of the tower.

  8. 8

    Stack and stay organized :D
