A great Christmas tree ornament or gift idea shared by Minno.

Materials Needed:

  • Clear, plastic, smooth tumbler glasses
  • Permanent markers
  • Hot glue gun
  • Ribbon
  • Foil

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray foil lined cookie sheet with non-stick spray.

Color any way you choose with the permanent markers on the outside and/or inside the clear tumbler. When colored to your satisfaction (not all spaces have to colored) place cups on foil and into the oven.

Check after a minute and watch closely. The cup will melt and you do not want it to burn.

Each cup will melt in a different shape; play with the placement. Remove from foil when slightly cool to keep from sticking.

When completely cool, make a hole with the hot tip of the glue gun and string a ribbon thru the hole to hang in window or on tree.

This project requires an adult to help but is great for all ages from 2 years old and up.
