Materials:
- Inexpensive plastic wine goblets(I found mine at Dollar Tree, 6 for $1)
- Tissue paper (lots of different colors)
- Mod Podge (a little goes a long way)
- Plastic jewels (found mine at Hobby Lobby half off but they can also be purchased at Dollar Tree, though you don't get quite as many)
- Tacky Glue
Directions:
- Cut the tissue paper into small 1 inch squares, use all of the colors or any colors you like.
- Next, give your child the goblet and allow them to paint some Mod Podge all over it. He can then select the tissue paper squares that he wants to use. It doesn't matter if the pieces over lap, you'll be applying a thick layer of Mod Podge over it all anyway.
- Cover the entire goblet with Mod Podge, and let dry.
- After the goblet is dry, allow your child to choose the gems she wants. Let her apply them with fast drying tacky glue.
If she puts the gems on the side, you need to lay the goblet down so that it doesn't slip. It could take awhile to apply all of the gems if you choose to put them on the side. That's why I only let my students put one large gem on the side of the goblet and several small/medium gems along the bottom. Additionally, I'm not letting my students drink from these cups (for my own peace of mind). It's totally up to you if you allow your child to drink from the goblet!
Happy crafting!
