The irish cream cold brew is spot on
Faux_Mango [OP] 23 points 1y ago
THANK YOU I GOT SO HYPED UP PAINTING THEM!!! I had a photo of an Irish Cream there on my phone while i sipped my *quad blonde oatmilk toasted white mocha/chestnut praline iced latte in my personal cup*.

I love painting, drawing, folding etc., until I get things close enough to what I want! For the Irish Creams, I pained the bottoms black, and the tops white, and had a slee of browns and oranges mixed, and painted them to look like the foam was separated a little :3

You are SO talented! I would definitely pay money for these, lol.
Faux_Mango [OP] 5 points 1y ago
So many people have told me that! ๐Ÿ˜ Thank you!
jvillarreal0421 39 points 1y ago

Faux_Mango [OP] 21 points 1y ago
Thank you! I am making these for my current store, plus the rest goes to my past 3 managers, to decorate their stores with! ๐Ÿ’•

omg the iccbโ€™s are adorable
Faux_Mango [OP] 7 points 1y ago
Thank you!! I love them so much!
trippin-in-the-dark 6 points 1y ago
what kind of materials did you use to make these?
Faux_Mango [OP] 12 points 1y ago
Oh yes! I didn't use many materials:

-the pupper cuppers -acrylic paint & brushes -hot glue -cotton balls -origami paper -index cards -aluminum foil -rock salt -Elmer's glue -a hole puncher -scissors -tape -shiny silver string -glue spray paint

These are going up soon so I am spraying these with snow spray paint today, and a clear coat tomorrow, so:

-snow spray paint -clear spray paint

Most of this stuff I've had on me for years bc i be craftin' but at Michael's, most of this would total to ahout $40 or so! I hope this helps!
trippin-in-the-dark 3 points 1y ago
thank you! i might give it a go but i definitely wonโ€™t be able to make them as cute as yours!!
Faux_Mango [OP] 7 points 1y ago
YES YOU CAN! You yourself, are cute. Therefore, they will be CUTE and reflect your personality and craft!

Art is a reflection of the artist! And yours will be marvelous!! YOU GO BOO! MAKE THEM CUTE ORNAMENTS! Ornaments always make me happy so that's why i made these! YOU'RE GONNA MAKE SOMETHING MAGICAL, I JUST KNOW!
trippin-in-the-dark 2 points 1y ago
awh thanks so much for the encouragement!! i wish you worked at my starbucks lol (:

can i steal this idea ? ive been wanting to make stuff for my coworkers just bc iโ€™ve been missing crafting and i think this would be so cute !
Faux_Mango [OP] 6 points 1y ago
Oh yeah! I got permission from my boss to use the cups, but everything else I pretty much had at home! Please pass this idea around!

SBUX sends us ornaments in the holiday setup every year and I was inspired by the products SBUX already makes, I just wanted to know what it would look like if the ornaments were this year's promoted drinks!

Honestly, I did this as an experiment to see if I *could*, and I am SO PLEASED with how these came out! This is the 2nd time I've ever tried to make ornaments from scratch!

Imagine having every barista at your store decorate a little sample cup ornament with their own Partner Drink!!

I'd probably make my personal ornament and Iced Chestnut-Toasted White Mocha Latte with no whip, and Oatmilk-Honey foam!
FearlessSentence9667 2 points 1y ago
thank u so much ! i thought the little iccb was SO CUTE and i would love to make some for my partners ! my sm is usually rlly into this stuff so iโ€™m hoping sheโ€™ll say yes but if not then i can always get my own little cups to make them in hehe
Faux_Mango [OP] 2 points 1y ago
Especially since its all just made of paper! I saved a lot of those bulky coupon catalogs you get in the mailbox as paper to paint on, and i've been doing origami for 17 years so i had a ton of it around my apartment! I also do not like to spend much money lol so things i make, i work hard to find things in my pantry and office to use. Art is whatever you make it!

My romantic partner gave me the idea of using Epsom salt as the salt on the salted caramel mochas! He gave me a lot of ideas of odds and ends to use! ๐Ÿฅฐ

krym32zamoon 5 points 1y ago
These are amazing! That effort is so rewarded. What did you use for the iced ones?
Faux_Mango [OP] 6 points 1y ago
The iced ones, I painted the inside of the pup cup, then made a paper cone and hot glued it on. :) The whipped cream is hot glue, and ALL of the toppings are made of paper and foil ๐Ÿ’•

I've been doing origami for 17 years and LOVE papercrafts! ๐Ÿฅฐ I made these 3 years ago as well! This is my second time making these!
krym32zamoon 2 points 1y ago
They're so super wonderful! Your team much love them! Thank you for sharing your talent with everyone! I put all my time and effort into tying to hold the store together that I couldn't even fathom more time into crafts, especially at this level ๐Ÿ˜ญ so you're awesome in my eyes for this!
Faux_Mango [OP] 2 points 1y ago
THESE WORDS ARE SO TRUE AND I CAN TELL YOU MEANT THEM ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’• THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU KIND SOUL! I only make art for me, but I love to make others smile. I live to share my love and pass my energy and motivation unto others.

pup cups??


we donโ€™t have mini cups

i want mini cups
Squirrelylove 1 points 1y ago
They're sample cups. They generally send them by default during any promotional period or during holiday
joviante 1 points 1y ago
bro thatโ€™s awesome i want some
Faux_Mango [OP] 1 points 1y ago
You should see if y'all can order the sample cups! We don't use them much at our store aside from customers tasting nitro, and making pup cups
joviante 2 points 1y ago
we just use short cups
sukkmiash 1 points 1y ago
So uhm are you selling these :)
Faux_Mango [OP] 2 points 1y ago
Nope! I am splitting these evenly into 4 packages and sending them to my 4 favourite Starbucks managers so they can decorate their stores! ๐Ÿ˜โœจ
sukkmiash 2 points 1y ago
Awww how nice and adorable! They better appreciate the hard work and love into it itโ€™s amazing! Btw you are gorgeous
Faux_Mango [OP] 1 points 1y ago
NO U!!! Thank you, beautiful! And I have officially told all the managers I'm sending them to that they are coning ๐Ÿ˜
anitasdoodles 1 points 1y ago
Awe post pics when theyโ€™re all up at your store
Faux_Mango [OP] 3 points 1y ago
I WILL! I am spraying these with snow spray paint, and then they'll be complete! I plan to put then up in a few days! ๐Ÿ˜

I am also the Cutieโ„ข barista that is responsible for putting up our Christmas tree, so it feels good to decorate it with items i made myself!

30 are going in my store, 3 of each flavour! And the rest...

-30 are being mailed to my last SBUX manager (who just got promoted and moved to a drive-thru)
-another 30 to my BFF since 7th grade (who is also... a SBUX manager running her second store!! I'M SO FUCKING PROUD OF HER!)
-another 30 go to my 2nd manager (she feels the most like my mom, i love her so much)

I am so happy my work gets to go to my BFF managers! ๐Ÿ˜ญ
deekutzi 1 points 1y ago
My ASM said we canโ€™t use anything that wasnโ€™t shipped in a Starbucks box to the store for decoration. They also said we canโ€™t even write on the chalkboard we have on the bar? So we just have a black chalkboard standing there for nothing. Meanwhile our old ASM encouraged that.
Faux_Mango [OP] 4 points 1y ago
This is my 6th Starbucks store, and I have wanted to do this at 6 STORES over the last 4 YEARS and only 2 managers allowed me to, and this is the second one! ๐Ÿ’•

I hope your ASM can allow you to decorate your store in other cute ways!! ๐Ÿฅบ

Honestly, I think our stores should be decorated all year long, not just in the holiday season.

You don't need to wait til Nov-Jan to spread love and cheer! ๐Ÿ˜โœจ
