If you always lose your cup at parties or at home, the 'Cups With Bite' paper cup sleeves shaped like [safari animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endangered-animal-lip-balm) are the perfect way to always tell which cup is yours.

Creator Akira Yoshimura made these kooky vibrantly colored animal paper cup sleeves from thick card paper. At first, these sleeves come flat and all you have to do is pop them up and slide them onto any [standard 9 oz plastic cup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-biocup). Made to look like creatures you'd find on a safari, these sleeves come in shapes like giraffes, rhinos, zebras, elephants and lions in several super bright colors like yellow, purple, blue and orange.

Because these paper cup sleeves are made completely from paper, you can doodle on them, write a funny quote or jot down your name. Perfect for birthday parties for kids or adults alike, these 'Cups With Bite' paper cup sleeves are adorably cute.
