The Pimp Snap Cup

This year is a very special year.  It's not only my Golden Birthday Year (I turn 29 on the 29th), but it is also my BFF's Jennifer and Laura's Golden Birthday Year as well.  As Laura's Golden Birthday drew near I had this vision to make a special cup for her to take downtown.  This would make her day even MORE special.  We came up with the Pimp Snap Cup.  The name is derived from me thinking of this thing as a pimp cup as seen like this:


Well Jennifer thought maybe it was more like a Snap cup as seen like this:



Hence the name of the final product: the Pimp Snap Cup.  I think they all turned out really well and these definitely draw the attention to the birthday girls!  This was also so fun to make.  Here is what materials you will need:
-a plastic glass (preferably in a wine glass/goblet style)
-a glue gun
-jewels (real or fake depending on your budget--if you choose fake they can be found at Michael's)
-band-aids (because you will burn yourself on that glue gun--a million times--or at least I did)

Directions:
Have an idea of a pattern you would like to stick to with the jewels, then start gluing!!  Fill with your beverage of choice.  

End result:
