Instructions
Step 1. Gather your supplies. | |
Step 2. Use the glitter glue to draw a holiday design on a plastic cup. Tip- Squeeze the glitter glue gently to avoid using too much glue. If you apply too much glue, it will create drips in the design. Let dry. | |
Step 3. Once the glitter glue has dried, start coloring in the design with sun catcher paint. | |
Step 4. Finish painting the whole design with the sun catcher paint. Once dried, the paint will be translucent and light will be able to shine through. | |
Step 5. Make horizontal stripes around another plastic cup with masking tape, as shown. Paint the areas between the masking tape with blue sun catcher paint. | |
Step 6. Once dry, gently remove the masking tape and you will have nice clean stripes on the cup. | |
Step 7. Finish decorating the cup by drawing dots and snowflakes with glitter glue. | |
Step 8. Use masking tape to create diagonal stripes around a third cup. Paint the areas between the masking tape with red sun catcher paint. Let dry. | |
Step 9. Remove the masking tape and outline the red strips with glitter glue. Let the glitter glue dry thoroughly. | |
Step 10. Once the glitter glue is dried, paint the clear areas with white sun catcher paint. | |
Step 11. Add LED tea lights to the painted cups and decorate the table this holiday season. |
