DIY Cup Holder w/pen

During the summer it is fun to entertain outside and when we do we try to keep things casual and easy. For larger groups we bring out the disposable serving supplies which includes cups. In doing so, we know that it is hard to remember which cup is yours, since they all look alike, so of course we write our names on them. That works well until the pen goes missing. In addition to missing markers there is always the possibility of a strong breeze and the chance the stack of cups will fall over and be scatter everywhere. So, to help keep the cups secure and cut down on lost cups, we decided to make a little cup holder with a built~in pen holder. 

Last summer we were making a lot of DIY pallet board projects for our nieces bridal shower and wedding so we repurposed one of the cute boxes to use as our new cup holder. 

It was quick and easy. Mr. Wonderful just drilled a hole on one side and then I added some cups and a marker and voilá our cup holder was finished.

It works great and will certainly be a handy and versatile little DIY box.

Happy Monday!
