Ten Copy-Cat Starbucks Recipes

Pin to Pinterest

We all love Starbucks, right? But let’s face it – those $4 price tags sure can add up quickly. When calculating a 5 coffees a week, just think of all of the money that we’re spending on fancy drinks from Starbucks each year – that could be $20 per week or $1,040 per year!

When it comes to having fancy tasty drinks, why spend the money when we can make the same drinks from home? There are recipes out there for any Starbucks drink you can buy – so why not try your hand at making them yourself? It might take more time – but you’ll save dollars per serving which equates to MORE delicious drinks. Sounds like a good deal to me!

Take a look at ten of the most popular Starbucks drinks recipes for you to try at home!

Pin to Pinterest

In honor of Valentine’s Day I have created a printable for you and put together a quick and simple tutorial to surprise your sweetie or the kids with. These are fun homemade scratch off tickets that can be personalized for anyone, that makes them super fun and this one is for all ages. But I am throwing some ideas especially for the grown ups out there to enjoy. I don’ t think homemade Valentine’s have to be for kids only. For an adult you could write special messages – private messages, IOU’s for special treats or activities, or a promise of a date night. For kids you can fill theirs up with the a promise of a fun activity, 15 extra minutes to stay up, extra dessert, ice cream after school , or even just a simple I love you. Valentine’s and messages from the heart can mean so much , especially when they are made by your own hand. Print off a sheet of these and give it a try.

Supplies

Scratch-Off Printable
white card stock
acrylic paint
dish soap
white crayon
small paintbrush
ink pen
scissors or paper cutter
optional – glitter

Pin it to Pinterest

Directions

Print Scratch-Off Card onto cardstock
Use a pen to write a message on each heart- be creative!
Color heart over completely with a thick coat of white crayon.
Blow off excess crayon dust for a smooth surface.
In a small bowl combine 1 part dish soap to 2 parts paint, stir well- if you are only making 1 or 2 then a couple teaspoons total is plenty of paint mixture.
Paint over heart/white crayon completely with a thick coat of your mixture.
If desired sprinkle paint with glitter while still wet.
Allow to dry well.
Brush off excess glitter.
Present to your valentine with a coin for scratching out message.

DIY Gift Wrap Box Tutorial – Present Made from Reynolds Box

DIY Gift Wrap Box Tutorial – Present Made from Reynolds Wrap Box
Pin to Pinterest

Not only are they thrifty-but these boxes are a perfect size and shape for filling with Christmas goodies. Rescue your aluminum foil, and saran wrap boxes from the recycle bin and put them to work for you-creating a lovely and unique gift. A simple but thoughtful gift for a teacher, hair dresser, dog groomer, neighbor, as a hostess gift or put one in the mailbox to thank your faithful mail carrier. You can fill it with small cookies, candies, nuts, mints, clementines or it would even be a fun for a child filled with small toys. This would also make a great project to include your child in creating- use plain brown shipping wrap and let them color, stamp or place stickers to cover the box prior to wrapping.

Supplies Needed:

Aluminum or Plastic wrap box
wrapping paper
ribbon, raffia, or string
tissue paper
glue stick
scissors
2 brads

Pin to Pinterest

Directions:

Start by removing the blade from your box.
Lay the box on wrapping paper, loosely wrap and cut the paper so that it is slightly- about 1” longer than box all around.
Spread glue all over the top flap of the box.
Press paper onto box, smoothing out all air bubbles- leaving excess paper inside the box that reaches into the “cavity” of the box, where your treats will go.
Glue the next section of the box, and continue all the way around, pressing out the bubbles as you go.
Glue the inside flap and again press the paper down.
Fold the box ends inward, like you would a present, as in the photo-secure with glue.
Use a hole punch to make a hole in the center of the top flap, and close to the bottom at the base of the box.
Insert a brad and secure it by spreading the tines open.
Place a layer of tissue paper in the bottom of the box.
Fill box with desired filler.
Tie ribbon or raffia to one brad to secure it, wrap around the other end several times to hold closed.
Top with a bow and gift tag to complete your gift.
