Snap Cup

 Need a crafty idea to boost moral at your chapter meetings or events?  Why don't you make a snap cup. Kudos to our friends from Legally Blonde.  This simple snap cup can add a lot of fun to your meetings by having your members put anonymous encouraging notes in the cup and then reading them loud for all to hear.  Try and count how many people blush!

Here's how you pull this puppy off:

Supplies:
1.  Glass or plastic cup (the bigger the better)
2.  Anything that shines! (jewels, sequins, sparkly buttons, etc.)
3.  Ribbon
4.  Glue gun and sticks

How to:
1.  I started off by gluing the ribbon to the top of the glass.  This would also be cute if you had some feather ribbon to add to the top of the glass.
2.  I then took sequined string and glued it around the two bulging parts of the neck of the glass. (this can get messy with glue so go slowly!)
3.  Next, adorn the bottom of the glass with a pattern of sequins and jewels.
4.  Add a design of jewels and sequins to the cup of the glass.
5.  Finally I added a cute flower to the top of the glass with a silver button in the middle.

Now you can express your inner Elle Woods and maybe even slip an anonymous note of affirmation into the cup for yourself.  After all, you are a crafting diva.
