Your Paper Cup’s Second Life.

Paper cups are disposable.  It means that paper cups are designed to be used only once.  It’s incredibly handy for busy people and office professionals who have little time in the morning.

The good news is that your used coffee cups can be re-used for a variety of tasks.  Yes, there are indeed a few ways to upcycle your Anthora paper coffee cups.  Rinsing, drying, and carrying the coffee cup home from the office might be a bit much for some folks, but it can be done.  If you are so inclined, this project is perfect for your cup.

To reuse the cup as a planter, poke holes in the bottom, and fill with potting soil. Plant a sprouted seed or a cutting that has grown roots in the cup.  Place it on a plate to catch the water and dirt that drains through the holes.  When you’re ready to transplant the plant into your garden, you can plant the whole thing, cup and all.
