Easy

Easy to make, easy on the pocket Christmas small gift. Perfect for handing out to co-workers etc...

Easy for kiddos, just trade the hot glue gun for glue sticks or Elmer's glue.

Attaching gift wrap to the top of the lid.

You need four plastic cups 4 -6 ounces in size with lids. Take some wrapping paper that really is pretty and trace the circle of the top of the lid. Use this as your pattern to do three circles exactly like it. Now glue these to your lids.

Attaching ribbon to girth of cup.

From this point you want to make some bows. You can make bows with any size ribbon that you choose and you can even add a button in the middle for interest. On one of mine I added blue glitter sticky tape. I made hearts of the blue sticky tape and I made the top round piece for the lid with the same glitter tape. You could use washi tape, twine and you can even paint them with acrylic paints. I had a hard time with my cut out strips of wrapping paper, trying to add a cuff around the cup, because my cups graduated pretty quickly down and even after making fringe it did not look good. In my opinion I think it'd be best if your cup was the same width from top to bottom that way if you wanted to use wrapping paper as a cuff or if you want to use glitter tape or washi tape to go around, it would be much better and without crumpling.

Bowutiful!

Here they are all pretty and waiting to be gifted. Yes, I know I said 4 cups and there are only three showing; but, we ate the 4th one.

Merry Christmas!
