Jungle Triple Cup Holder
Have you ever been on a long car ride or in a smaller home? Have you ever had cup messes before? Thanks to this simple device that you can make yourself, you no longer face the frustration of being in a tight squeeze and having to throw your cups all around.
Supplies
- 4 popsicle sticks
- Green acrylic paint
- Painting supplies (palette, brush, etc.
- 1 strip of cardboard
- Craft glue (preferably Elmer’s)
- Pencil
- Twine
- Rubber band
Paint Sticks
Paint the popsicle sticks green. Make a splotchy pattern (as shown above) to replicate leaves. Tip: To make splotches, hold your brush upwards with the bristles facing down. Quickly push the brush straight down, then pull it straight back up. You should have a splotch.
Make a Square
Glue each stick together to form a square-shaped frame. Wait for the glue to dry.
Mix & Paint
Mix light and dark green shades together until you get a result you’re happy with. Paint the cardboard strip that shade until you’ve completely covered the strip. Wait for the paint to dry.
Glue the Pieces
Glue the frame and cardboard strip together. While the strip acts as a ”holder” for the rubber band, the frame keeps the cups in.
Add the Rubber Band
Add the rubber band by stretching it over the frame, and onto the cardboard strip. You should have a cup holder now.
