I made a solo cup globe but it keeps popping apart, help!

Hi Elisa, I had similar troubles when making one of those globes- try using as many staples as possible ( in each direction) But also, if your staples aren't working still, try switching staplers. I originally tried with a dollar store stapler and it didn't cut it.

A friend of mine also had success using hot glue instead. It took a little bit longer but was much more stable.

Have fun!!

I used both Aleene's craft glue and a stapler. It was just enough to keep it looking fabulous

We use a pointed soldering gun. Just push threw to make a little hole where the cups come together. It will melt the two cups together and make a nice bond. I also use it to put holes in the bottoms of each cup to put the light threw. This looks a lot nicer than staples every where.

punch holes in the cups and use paper brad clips...I have had mine for years!

I can't find the directions to make this project! I thought I had saved it but it's

not in my craft file. i searched using solo cup globe and ball made with solo cups and lights and couldn't find it. I finally found the cups needed for this project but have no directions! PLEASE help! Thank you!!!!
