Styrofoam Cup Flower
Belva shows us how to make a unique flower using a styrofoam cup.

Materials Needed:
  • Styrofoam cups - any size
  • Scissors
  • Markers or paint
  • Optional: sequins, other tiny decorations
Instructions:
Pre heat oven to 300. Using scissors, cut straight down the sides of the cup about 2/3 way. Repeat all around.

Set cup(s) on cookie sheet bottom down. Put in oven for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. If oven has a window you can watch for the right time to remove it. Remove promptly.

The cut strips will bend to look like petals on a flower. Or let it curl into a wreath. These can also make neat nut/mint cups.
