These were fun to make because you get quick results. You'll need cups like this, they are soft whitish plastic. We tried the clear plastic cups - FAIL, they don't melt. These were from the dollar...

First of all, the idea is from Jessica Ehlers. THANK YOU! Color the plasic cup with Sharpie markers. From 2011-12-13 From 2011-12-13 Emma came up with her own "fast" method. From 2011-12-13 Stick them in a warm oven (I used about 300 degrees) & watch them melt (1-2 minutes max). From 2011-12-13 I stuck a hole in the plastic with an ice pick while they were warm. Tie a ribbon through it, and you have an ornament! From 2011-12-13 This was a lot of fun for all ages!

Plastic cup ornament craft was a success! Check out a few of the many wonderfully creative cups my students made before winter break! #shrinkydinks #scienceteacher #diy #crafts #plasticcupornament....
