Pokadot Pencil Cup

This is a very easy and quick project to spice up any pencil cup or container.
I do not recommend trying to do strips on the shape container I used it's very hard to get them to look right.
I use things I had on hand and I really love the way to came out.

Let the paint dry completely and peal the tape off.
If the edges did not come as clean as you wanted I recommend out line the edge in a sharpie.
This will also work to add more color if you outline in a different color.
