Being one of the world's biggest coffee lovers, I just had to compile a round-up of the best coffee crafts and DIYs.

Being British you might assume my favourite drink would be tea but its actually coffee! I only drink tea when I'm hungover which only happens a couple of times a year. So I only drink about 2 cups of tea a year. Whereas I probably drink 5 to 6 cups of coffee a day.

I mostly drink strong black coffee, but I'm not fussy about my coffee. I will drink it at any temperature from hot to ice cold, I'll even drink it lukewarm. Even though my preference is for black coffee, I will drink it with milk and with a shot of liquor in it if on offer. As long as it tastes like coffee I'm happy.

I regularly catch up with friends over coffee and have at least 5 loyalty cards for local coffee shops. There's even a coffee kiosk on my daily walking route to the gym. I stop for one every day after my workout.

The Cool Coffee Themed Crafts & DIYs

My first blog post was actually a tutorial for a coffee pot cozy, embroidered with the apt Gretchen Peters Lyrics "The secret to life is a good cup of coffee".

Here I've compiled a collection of the best coffee crafts and DIYs on the internet. Some of the projects involve the use of coffee themselves, such as the scrubs and soaps, there is even a tutorial for a coffee bean coaster.

Some of the other coffee crafts involve mugs and sleeves, there are a few coffee printables. The collection includes some home decor ideas from, coffee stations, stools and pillows.

I'm sure you will find something that you will love to make. If like me and a lot of your friends and family are coffee lovers too, a lot of the coffee craft ideas would make lovely homemade gifts.

  4. That's spooky! I've been collecting tea themed crafts for a round up for a little while now! Tea is my thing, I'm afraid I only like coffee in a coffee cake or a coffee cream (yes, I'm the weird person who likes coffee creams!) That said I can appreciate the loveliness of these coffee themed crafts, even if I can't appreciate the beverage!
