  1. Plastic Cup (Does not have to be clear).
  2. Cardstock Paper (Any color works).
  3. Paper Cutters (I used a circle cutter tool however scissor work as a alternative).
  4. Wooden Skewers (I used 4, however you can add more to increase the range).
  5. Hot Glue (Theoretically super glue could work but I would recommend hot glue).

Prepare to Cut

Take your plastic cup and trace a circle around it on the cardstock.

Make the Cut

!!! Cut out the circle from the cardstock.

Mark Next Cuts

This step is optional, you could just eyeball the cut however if you would like to mark your circle with the same starlike pattern shown above.

Make the Last Cut

!!! Use your scissors to cut out along the dashed line, be careful not to cut all the way to the end of the circle.

Hot Glue Time
