Master class: Christmas tree toys cups with cocoa
1. Take the remaining paper towel rolls and cut them to a height equal to a cup of espresso coffee. Prepare several rolls in this way, if you want to make not one, but many decorative cups.
2. On a piece of cardboard, circle the cylinders and you will have circles for the bottom of the cup. You will also need to make more circles, which will be slightly smaller and fit inside the cup..
3. Transfer a small circle to brown colored paper and cut a circle on it by 0.5-0.7 cm. You can put this circle aside for now, it will be useful to us at the very end.
4. Glue a large circle bottom to the cylinder and you get a container.
5. Cut a rectangle 1 cm wider than the height of the cylinder out of white cardboard. Make cuts on both sides, cover the cardboard with glue and glue it to the cylinders.
6. After that, you need to cut out a circle of white cardboard to decorate the bottom..
7. Now take the circle that you get in step 3. Make cuts around the edges and glue it at the top of the cylinder. Brown colored paper will mimic cocoa.
8. Let’s start making the handle for the cup. Take a toothpick and a piece of paper. Wrap the paper over the toothpick to form a tube. The toothpick needs to be pulled out, and the tube should be soaked in water so that it is easy to bend it. Bend all cup tubes with the letter C and leave to dry. Cut the tubes with a stationery knife so that they can be easily glued to our cup.
9. Take cocktail tubes, cut from and glue to a regular sheet of paper. When they dry, cut out so that a circle remains at the bottom. Now the straw is easy to stick to the cup.
10. From an ordinary napkin, you can make a rose with your own hands or simply fold it randomly to imitate cream.
A cup – the paper craft is ready, now you can use it to decorate a room or a Christmas tree. You can make multiple cups and decorate them with colored paper, not just white cardboard. To make the products brighter, color them, you can also stick flowers or circles on them from colored paper.
