Description

Create a vibrant Rainbow School Supply Pencil Cup that’s both functional and decorative, perfect for organizing your workspace.


Materials

  • Empty plastic bottles (one for each cup)
  • Acrylic paints (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet)
  • Paintbrushes in various sizes
  • Scissors (adult supervision recommended)
  • Clear drying glue
  • Decoration items (optional, like stickers or washi tape)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bottles: Rinse and dry the plastic bottles, removing labels. Cut each bottle in half.
  2. Paint the Bottles: Using a wide brush, paint the outside with acrylic colors, creating a gradient effect.
  3. Building Layers: After the first layer dries, paint the bottom section with remaining colors until the entire surface is adorned.
  4. Embellish Your Cup: Once dried, add optional decorations with clear glue.
  5. Final Touches: Ensure everything is dry before using your new pencil cup and add any finishing touches.

Notes

Use lighter colors as bases and darker hues for overlays to create depth. Encourage creative expression while crafting.
