K Cup Succulent Pot
"I love coffee and I love my Keurig Coffee Machine but I feel so guilty about those darn plastic K Cups. Since it's spring gardening time, I decided to recycle those little cups and use them as seed starters and succulent pots. Using recycled K Cups and recycled packing paper makes this project very earth friendly. Use them as budget friendly diy gift ideas!"

I don't drink coffee, but my daughter does and I bet she never thought about reusing those K cups, especially like this! They would be perfect to start seeds in. Do they have holes in the bottome? (You can tell I don't use them!) If not, it should be easy to poke holes in them for drainage.

A used Kcup has a hole punched into the bottom, by the machine.
