I drink alot of drinking chocolate and end up with alot of empty containers. This one I have managed to put to good use - we won't talk about how many others are waiting to be done!!
First, I applied a layer of Gesso to the container. Then I painted a light blue acrylic paint over the top. The images have all been stamped onto tissue paper and then applied using Mod Podge. The stamps are an acrylic set from Whimsy Stamps. The images have been coloured with watercolour pencils. I then applied some ribbon top and bottom. I'm pleased with how this turned out and have it sitting in front of me while I am working - much better than looking at a cheap plastic cup!
What a wonderful way to recycle! You have made a super cute and very useful pencil/marker holder. I may have to give this a go as I currently stare at plain plastic cups whilst colouring. Thanks for the inspiration and Thanks for playing along with us at Sparkle and Glitter with Rick :)
