Moustache Glass Markers

These markers will help your guests identify their drinking glasses during parties^(*), and the moustache shapes are sure to be a funny icebreaker.

In a hurry trying to find an idea for a quick, funny, last-minute present, I was inspired by the many moustache projects that can be found around here.

^(*) Go green: instead of taking many disposable paper/plastic cups, reuse your drinkware!

Many kinds of plastic or wood can be used. Using black plastic can significantly speed-up this project.

I had some scrap Plexiglas leftover from another DIY project.

You will need:

• 3mm thick plastic, or Plexiglas or plywood
• paper glue
• miniature clothespins (the smaller the better)
• power- or hand- jigsaw
• epoxy glue
• black paint
• sand paper, files

Design your own moustaches or use the attached document.

You can use a vector drawing software (like Inkscape or OpenOffice.org Draw). Splines are fun to design moustaches.

Print and glue the design on the plastic.

Cut the shapes.

Sand and file the sides until satisfied.

Soak the shapes into water for a couple of minutes until the paper comes off.

Sand the surfaces if you intend to paint the pieces.

Clean and paint the pieces.

Glue the pieces to the clothespins. Allow to cure completely.

Done!

Clip the moustaches on any kind of drinkware, and sip with distinction!
