Stamped Party Cups
I usually stay away from purchasing themed-paper cups for most of my parties. For starters, they’€™re expensive when you compare the decorated cups to their plain coloured counterparts, and’€”to be honest’€”they aren’€™t always very pretty. Not to mention that they usually come in small packages of eight or 10, when it’€™s very possible I’€™ll need double or triple that for my bash.
Instead, I prefer to stamp my party cups in colours or icons that suit the theme of the party. For birthday parties, I might use plain white cups and jazz them up with stamped polka dots (bingo dabbers work well for this), or for a Canada Day party or other seasonal celebration, I’€™d likely use a coloured cup and add a familiar image to the front of the cups.
If you don’€™t have a circle stamp, a wine cork works well and so does a potato stamp. Basically, use what you have to make inexpensive paper cups look pretty and festive.
Here’€™s how to do it:
- Insert 3 to 4 cups into the cup you are stamping for extra stability.
- Stamp the front and sides as desired.
- Let dry completely before using.
Have you ever stamped your cups before? Would you? What are some party decorations that you like to make from scratch?
