I love to re-purpose k-cups any time I can, and here's a fun little craft for the kids. Or for an adult to make for doll play... These Frankenstein Masks, or Costumes, for Barbie and Ken can be as simple or elaborate as art skills -and patience- allow. I've made two, one an open face and the second has eye holes and more green. If this is a Halloween or birthday party craft, I suggest an adult have all of the k-cups pre-cut and let the kids color and decorate them. I used Sharpies for the boldest color.
Bucket head and jagged bangs:
More of a hat look...
And a pull on mask:
I purposely used the most beaten up, dirtiest, well worn, black jacket I had to add to the Frankenstein look. Thrift store grab bag rescue:@)
What I did:
- Pull foil off of k-cup, tap out coffee grounds, pull out filter. Wash and dry k-cup.
- The bottom of the cup will be the flat top of the head.
- Using sturdy scissors, kitchen shears are best, cut off the ridge that had the foil glued to it. But leave two 1/4" pieces at the sides for the illusion of neck bolts.
- If making open face mask, cut out enough of the cup in a rectangle shape to show the dolls eyes.
- Make jagged cuts for the bangs.
- If making eye hole mask, cut an arch between the bolts just high enough to expose the mouth and tip of the nose. Cut eye holes (I used a hole punch. Can use Exacto knife or utility knife.
- Color with Sharpies as desired.

Have a Happy Day🎃
