Adding Glitter

I love glitter. After I outgrew my Barbies, I wasn't much of a girly girl. However, the older I get the more I love girly things. Pink, glitter, bows, nail polish, sewing, etc. You get the point. I saw this fun picture on Pinterest that showed how to add glitter to the plain double insulated Starbucks cup. Here is the the link I found that has directions on how to add glitter to one of these cups. But, I didn't really like the idea of spraying glue into something I was going to drink out of, even if the glue wouldn't even be in the part of the cup where the liquid would go. Then I had an idea! I have seen glitter card stock and foam at craft stores, and I thought it would be a safer way to add glitter to my plain cup. 

Insulated cup before. This is a venti size. 

So, off to Joann's I went. I adore that place. I found some beautiful hot pink glitter foam and took it home. I started cutting it up as soon as I got home, because I was so darn excited. Well, there was one little issue:

The foam was so thick that the cups couldn't fit properly together! Look at all that space between the cups in the above photo. Not what I was going for. Onto round 2. A few days later I was at Michael's and found some purple glitter card stock. My excitement for this project returned! I cut up my card stock, and nervously shoved it into the outside cup, and voila! Success! 

I love it when you finally get something the way you want it to look. And the best part...I can change the paper out if I want a new look! I got some very cute glitter owl paper to use when I get over the purple glitter. Hurray! My students noticed my cup, and it got their seal of approval too! If you have one of these cups, then try this out! Easier than having to spray glue into a cup, and you can change it with your mood. Go add some glitter to your life!
