When you’re finished with your morning coffee, what do you do with the empty cup? Chuck it in the bin, right? Well, for all the coffee lovers out there another alternative has been offered… draw on them!!

Carrah Aldridge (@creative_carrah), a 19 year old self-taught artist from Ohio has proved to us the age old saying of that someone else’s trash is another’s treasure. By using old Starbucks cups as blank canvases, she has created truly mesmerising drawings that everyone will enjoy.

As the seasons change, so do Carrah’s drawings. She incorporates gorgeous leafy, orange textures for autumn and icy blues for the cooler months of winter, giving us the feeling of the nature around us.  And her creativity doesn’t stop there; she also ensures that each cup looks different than the last by redesigning the original Starbucks logo to match the design of the cup produced.

Not only is this idea extremely creative and fun, but also environmentally friendly. Reuse these as new cups, pen holders or anything your imagination allows
