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.

Finish the Project
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.
