Perfect for baby and bridal showers, teas, family gatherings or graduation parties, these decorated paper cups add a festive touch to any buffet table. Visit your local party store to stock up on colorful cups (Bermuda blue and French lilac, anyone?), gather your craft supplies (interesting buttons, costume jewelry, ribbons, fabric remnants, feathers, bits of vintage wallpaper, beads, glitter ‑- I like to call it your "ditzing kit") and let the fun begin!
What you'll need:
- Paper, plastic or even glass cups
- Stickers
- Ribbon
- Flowers
- Faux jewels
- Plastic farm animals
- Hot glue gun
- And anything else you may want to add (remember, there are no rules!)
Directions:
Heat up the hot glue gun, gather supplies, and glue and sticker to your heart's delight.
This is a wonderful project to do with the kids ‑- it allows them to tap into their creative side. I mean, what kid wouldn't love to play with stickers, plastic farm animals and other goodies! And the best thing about this project is that you can really customize it to fit your needs ‑- make it super easy by forgoing the glue gun and just using fun stickers and ribbon. Or, for an adult twist, replace paper cups with martini and champagne glasses and embellish them with beautiful ribbons and sprigs of rhinestones tied around the stems ‑- an easy and elegant touch that will make your gathering extra special.
