DIY Backpack Charm

This is how to make a simple backpack charm, with things you probably already own.

You will need hot glue, a paperclip, paint, and a toothpaste lid.

Hook

First, cut a length of the paper clip, and make a loop on the top. This needs to be long enough to stick over the top when standing in the lid. Then cut a smaller one, and paint it; this is a straw. I decided to make mine coffee, but if you do a cupcake, you won't want a straw. ;)

Paint

Now you can paint the cup; I made mine pink.

Glueing

Fill the bottom of the cup with glue, and set the straw in it, so the side. Then press the hook in the middle and hold it there until it dries a bit.

The Top

Once the bottom part of the glue is dry, you can start making the whipped cream. :) It helps to use the rest of the paper clip to kinda stir it around a bit. then let it dry.

Once the brown paint is dry, you can paint the rest of it white. And thats it!
