How to Make a Homemade Cup Holder
Do you often find yourself struggling to hold onto your drink while you work or relax? A cup holder can make all the difference, but purchasing one can be expensive. Fortunately, making a homemade cup holder is easy and affordable. In this guide, we’ll show you how to make a simple cup holder using materials you likely already have at home.
Gather Supplies
The first step to making your homemade cup holder is to gather your supplies. You will need:
- A clean, empty can (such as a soup can)
- A pair of scissors
- A marker
- (Optional) Scrap fabric or spray paint to decorate the can
Prepare the Can
Using the marker, draw a line around the center of the can. This will be your cutting guide.
Next, use the scissors to carefully cut along the marker line. Smooth any rough edges with your scissors or sandpaper. If you wish, you can now decorate the can with scrap fabric or spray paint. Allow any paint or glue to dry completely before using the cup holder.
Use and Enjoy Your Cup Holder
Your homemade cup holder is now complete and ready to use. Simply slide it onto the edge of your desk, table, or armrest, and voila – no more spills or struggling to hold onto your drink. This cup holder is also easily portable, making it perfect for use in the car or on-the-go.

Whichever method you choose, a homemade cup holder is a simple and practical addition to any workspace or relaxation spot. It keeps your drink within reach and helps prevent any accidents or spills. Best of all, it can be made with minimal expense and effort.
