Step 1

To start, prepare your K-Cup by removing the foil from the top from it as best as possible. Don’t worry about making it perfect, just enough to clean the inside. It will get trimmed off later.

Step 3

After you have cleaned your K-Cup, use the solid end to trace a circle on the bottom of your bunny. Make sure it is far enough in from the edges so that you don’t cut them later.

Step 5

File the edges of the cut circle with a fine file. If it is too course, it will only shred your bunny worse.

Tip:

  • I used a small nail file and it worked fabulously.

Step 6

Next, push your K-Cup into the hole so that it is secure but don’t force it to hard. Mark the spot that the bunny comes to on the cup.

Step 7

Then pull the K-Cup out and cut along the mark you made.

Tip:

  • Check the measurement with the largest coin to ensure that all coins will fit.
