recycled packaging for cupcakes, cookies, and macarons
September 25, 2011 § 69 Comments
It’s bake sale season! And soon enough, our kitchens will be converted to cookie factories come December. So here is an almost-free approach to creatively packaging all of your yummy treats!
This is a fantastic way to repurpose all of those plastic water bottles, as well as to use up scraps of cardboard. And it’s an opportunity to consume your collection of washi tape or pretty ribbon that have been patiently waiting at the bottom of your craft drawers for the day they are given purpose.
I picked up my 3-pack of washi tape at Daiso for $1.50 back in August when I was in California. A combined 48 yards! What. A. Steal. Hundreds of these little packages can be made with a $1.50 inventory of washi tape. What’s sad is that our households may actually go through that many plastic bottles in a year. At least this project grants the plastic bottles another calling in their lifetime before they hit the landfill.
For use of two water bottles (ideal for a row of homemade cookies and macarons):
1. Cut off the bottom of two plastic bottles to preferred length. Fill with treats.
2. Attach the plastic bottles together with tape.
For use of one water bottle (ideal for one mini cupcake, but also great for a smaller serving of cookies and macarons):
1. Cut the bottom of one plastic bottle to preferred height. Trace on cardboard. Cut cardboard circle.
2. Place cupcake on cardboard circle. Cover with bottom of plastic bottle. Make sure the plastic bottle sits on top of the cardboard circle. Affix tape around the plastic bottle and cardboard circle.
If you do not have washi tape, you may use double-sided tape covered with decorative ribbon.
Make sure to bake your cookies, macarons, and mini cupcake to fit the diameter of the water bottles. I haven’t endeavored in baking macarons, so I splurged on half a dozen for the sake of this post. Really. Sweets for blogging’s sake!
Super – this is just so amazing. Practical and save the environment. Thank you so much. I am really hooked on recycling.
Wow. This is an excellent idea. When I saw that tape I thought that it looked like some tape I had. Sure enough, I got mine from Daiso as well. I will be usingthis idea really soon. Thanks for sharing!
Genius!!!
what a fantabulous idea! I’m a sucker for great packaging and reuse, so the two together…I’m just in heaven!
I guess finding useful, reliable inaotmfrion on the internet isn’t hopeless after all.

This is such a neat craft idea. My granddaughter drinks those sport type drinks and the bottle is bigger than a regular water bottle if you need a larger container.
Oh my! Fantastic!!
Found this on Pinterest!! Repinning!
I have some square water bottles and think it would be fun to make two sets of treats -one packaged in these round bottle and one in the square bottle- and then stack them to tie w/ a ribbon and bow. Very excited!
