Stamped Party Cups

by Joke Vande Gaer

I hardly ever seem to find cute paper cups. Cute straws mostly save the day and are luckily available in lots of places. Stamping some plain white cups is my new favorite thing to do. Plus, a stamp makes it easy to make the whole party pretty with a certain theme: stamped invites, bunting, cake toppers…

Materials needed: plain paper cups, your choice of colored stamp pads and a simple stamp shape (you can even make your own with a potato stamp)

Step One: Test your stamp out on a piece of paper.
Step Two: Insert a cup into the cup you are stamping, this way you can put your hand inside the cup while stamping.
Step Three: Stamp away!

I’m loving the black and white for a grown up party! Vegetable stamps might be fun for kids to work with, no?

    Great idea! I see using bingo dabbers with kids. would make it easy and fun for little hands.

    very cute – but don’t these smear/run if people have them in hand from the heat of their fingers or condensation of the liquid? Just curious to make sure I don’t leave any guests with a surprise!

    What a sweet idea!!! I might try to replicate this with these Dot Art Markers: http://www.amazon.com/Do-Dot-Art-Shimmer-Markers/dp/B0006OFSBQ. Thank you for the lovely inspiration!

    You could make it even easier by using bingo dabbers! A variety of colors, and some come in boxed sets. Lots of possibilities here!!

    This would be made super easy (or even more kid proof/less messy) by using those Bingo stamp pens! We used to do all kinds of arts and crafts with those with my Grandma’s bingo stamp pen collection!
