A Joyful Riot

A Large Gathering of Happy Things

Glitter Dipped Cups

225731 230222In a perfect world, where we’re all filthy rich, all our parties and get-togethers would consist of glamorous glass dinnerware, right? But in the real less-than-perfect world, paper plates and cups make the party go round. However, just cus they’re not super fancy, doesn’t mean they can’t be unique, customized and pretty! We have quite a few simple ideas here on A Joyful Riot to get your plain paper cups to pop {see here and here} and this is another one: glitter bomb them!407806313358-1BAM!

I know what you’re thinking= what a mess! And while I won’t lie and say it won’t be during the process of making them {duh, it’s glitter} the finished cups really won’t be! If you use a fine enough glitter and/or enough good glue, there is no reason it won’t stay pretty darn stuck to the cup.

So here we go!

    Materials

Alls you gotta do is paint the bottom of your cup with some mod podge. I wanted a sort of dipped, fade away look so I got the bottom really good then just swiped up lightly around the cup. You could always use a stencil to create a design or free-hand something though! After applying glue, pour a whole bunch a glitter all over that sucker.809174975-1Allow them to dry and then love on em.407806152677-1407806219235-1_225525
