Turn coffee capsules into DIY art creations: ideas to inspire you

For many, savoring a coffee with its fragrant aroma every morning is an indispensable ritual, and in many cases, the drink is prepared using single-dose capsules, or pods. There are now many different brands, but in most cases, they all have similar shapes and bright colors - sometimes metallic - which make them quite attractive objects.

Most times, however, we throw these capsules in the garbage. Yet, with a little imagination and dexterity, they can be recycled creatively. Check out the ideas below:

Most creative projects done using coffee capsules involves crushing them. This can be done in several ways, but perhaps one of the most easiest ways is to use a potato masher.

Once flattened, the colored discs can be used in a thousand ways: for example, to make a colorful table bowl.

By folding the discs, you can also create the cute butterflies (with colorful wings).

Some use their skills to make artificial flowers that look almost real.

A popular DIY project is to use the disks to make owls. You just need to add googly eyes and an orange triangles for the beaks.

Not just owls: with a little imagination, you can create a myriad of cute, little animals. You can use them to decorate other artworks, or maybe use them as key rings (which are also ideal as gift ideas).

If you don't want to flatten the coffee capsules, you could join them together and create a colorful snake for kids to play with. It could be a fun project to do with the children!

Many colorful flowers, with petals made from crushed capsules: this becomes an original decoration whe used as a picture frame.

And then you can make jewelry: necklaces, pendants, earrings ... you will find many ideas to inspire you on the web.
