Issue #54
Occasion: Christmas
Category: Table Favor
Materials Needed:
- Brown pipe cleaner cut in half
- 4 oz paper cup (ripple insulated)
- Red pom-pom (½ size)
- 2 Goggle eyes (10 mm)
Instructions:
- With hot glue affix the nose and the eyes on the seam of the cup cover
- Next bend the pipe cleaner to make a three-point antler. Suggested moves to achieve this:
- Bend the half pipe cleaner down at the 2 ½ inch point from the bottom
- Bend again at the ¾ inch point and turn it to the right
- Bend it again back on itself at ½ inch point and cross it over to the left
- Bend the next segment at the 1 ½ inch point and
- The last bend will be back on itself about ½ inch to tuck the final piece down. Repeat the bends for the other half of the pipe cleaner.
- With the hot glue, affix both antlers on the front inside of the cup
B-Crafty Tip: These cups can be filled with anything, gift cards, cash, or treats. Use a small cellophane bag to place the “fillings” in and tie with tie a festive red ribbon around the top. This year B-Crafty filled the cup with 14 M&M’s (red and green) 2 Hershey Kisses (Santa hat variety) and 3 pre-wrapped Life Savers (holiday mix).
