Saw it. Pinned it. Did it!

 

I drink water all day, and a lot of it.  So when Starbucks offered their super size cup as a reusable option, i hopped on board.  Now everyone has them, and I wanted mine to stand out... enter "Glitter Cup"!

 I also saw this little DIY over at Basically Bre!  Hers looked so great I couldn't wait to make my own!

 

I picked up the supplies at JoAnn's Fabrics (an arts and crafts/fabric shop around here).

 

You will need:

Spray Glue {Elmer's Craft Bond, Multi Spray Adhesive was the brand I used}

Glitter {I used 3, 0.6 oz tubes}

masking tape

plastic wrap

Something to cover the workspace {I covered the floor with old newspaper}

 

the spray glue and glitter!

I first separate the cup and covered the top part with the plastic wrap and tape {this is to keep the glitter out and to cover the top from getting glue on it.  One mistake I made was not properly covering the groves where the cup goes back together and had to wipe the glue off.}

 

 

 

Next you'll spray the outside of the cup while sprinkling the glitter overtop {make sure that nothing is in close vicinity to you spraying, I made the mistake of getting the top part of the cup sprayed too.  I found Goo Be Gone gets the spray right off!}

After you have it covered to your liking, set it down to dry. {it shouldn't take more than an hour to be set!}

 

 

Clean up the glitter that has gotten everywhere, screw the cup back together, and you are DONE! Gotta love a DIY project that is done in less than 15 minutes {minus my 2 mistakes!}

 

End result!  Love the pink!

 

 Now go out and get awesome compliments on your new and improved "Glitter Cup"!
