DIY Starbucks Latte Ornament Tutorial
Create your own mini Starbucks latte ornaments with this easy DIY tutorial – sip, craft, and decorate your tree in style!
This DIY Starbucks latte ornament is super fun and festive for the holidays! It’s a simple, creative craft for anyone with a love for Starbucks.
Handmade ornaments make great gifts for the holiday season! I love the combination of red and green colors and Christmas sprinkles. You’ll want to make these Clay Starbucks Cup Ornaments too!
This year I decided to host the Twelve Days of Christmas Crafts on Instagram and we had so much fun!! We’ve made a ton of crafts to go along with my DIY Tree Collar and Holiday Ribbon Picks!
Be sure to check out this Wine Cork Garland, Sweater Ornament tutorial, Clay Farmhouse Ornaments or Wood Plank Tree Signs too!
Too busy to make this right away?! Pin it for later! Pin this holiday craft to your favorite board on Pinterest and it will be there when you’re ready.
As a huge fan of Starbucks these ornaments have quickly become my favorite homemade ones so far! They would be so much fun paired with a gift card and gifted to friends or family.
If you think these are cute, then you need to check out these Starbucks Hot Cocoa Ornaments too. The spackle in that post is a bit lighter than the one used here and we use puffy paint to add chocolate “drizzle” to the whipped cream!
How to make these DIY ornaments:

Get the supplies:
- Mini red solo cups
- 1″ styrofoam balls
- White caulking
- Piping bag and 1M icing tip
- Festive paper straw
- Holiday sprinkles
- Hot glue gun
- Baker’s twine
Directions:
- Glue two styrofoam balls together using the hot glue.
2. Glue the two styrofoam balls into the base of the mini solo cup.
3. Fill a piping bag with approximately 1/4 cup of white caulk. Cut the tip from the bag and attach the 1M decorative tip.
4. Use the caulk to frost the top of the styrofoam ball like a cupcake.
5. Cut a 1″ length from a straw and place it into the frosting. Dust the top of the cup with festive sprinkles.
Tip: tiny beads or sparkles work great too! The color from these food grade sprinkles tends to bleed a little into the spackle.
6. Glue a Starbucks logo to the front of the cup (optional). I printed off these mini logos using my printer at home (free downloadable file can be found at the bottom of this post – for personal use only).
7. Hot glue a loop of bakers twine to the cup for hanging. The best spot (so that the cup doesn’t tip too much) seems to be glueing the loop inside of the straw when the caulk is completely dry.
You could also use a picture hanger hook fastened to the top of the spackle when dry (as shown above).
Seriously, how darling are these Starbucks Christmas ornaments?! I can see them on the Christmas tree or used as gift tags to embellish gifts!

I love your Starbucks minis, did you use vinyl or sticker paper for your logo’s ?
Aww thank you! I used printer paper but sticker paper would be great too!
What size are the logo circles? Did you just print a bunch on printer paper and then cut them out? Or did you print on paper that had pre-cut circles?
They are about half an inch, just printed on regular paper and cut out with scissors :)
What size are the cups? I got 2 oz but the 1 inch balls are too small. Is it the 2 inch balls?
These are 1 oz cups :)
These are super cute!!! I am making them!! How do you get the colors of the sprinkles from running?
Yay! Have so much fun! My sprinkles only ran a tiny bit. You could try spraying them with a clear sealant if you want or use glitter instead :)
Thanks for sharing the mini Star Bucks cup. You stated that the printable of logo was at the end of the post, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. Can you please send that printable or the location of where you found it. I can’t wait to see more.
There is a turquoise form at the bottom of the post that says enter your email to get the printable – then its sent to your inbox :)
