The Absolute Cutest Little Easter Critter Cups Ever https://www.champagneandsugarplums.com/the-cutest-easter-critter-cups/ Fri, 17 Apr 2020 22:10:27 +0000 https://www.champagneandsugarplums.com/?p=687 We love Easter almost as much as we love Easter decorations. Make your holiday more festive with these adorable little critter cups. A sweet way to spread Easter cheer to any room in your house, party or dinner table. These adorable chick and bunny critter cups make perfect little Easter gifts too! Better make them quick before they disappear 🙂 This blog post may contain affiliate links. What does that mean? We may get a small commission if you make a purchase using our links, which helps us to keep posting new holiday content every week. What you’ll need: Glue gun Glue sticks Two small glass jars Scissors Painters tape Small piece of orange felt Little black gems Tiny pink pom pom Fine tip paintbrush Acrylic paints in Yellow, White and Black For this design, I wanted to avoid painting the lip of the jar. To do the same, take the painter’s tape and cover the top of the jar where you don’t want any paint to be. Additionally, you may have to cut slits in the tape to get it to fold over the top and seal tightly. Pour a big dollop of the yellow paint in one jar. Turn the jar around in your hands to spread the paint around. Tapping the jar against your palm helps to get the paint to move. Be patient, it may seem like the paint isn’t moving but it will. Keep turning and tapping the jar until all of the glass is covered in paint. When you’re happy with the coverage, turn the jar over onto a piece of paper towel and leave it to dry. Drying may take some time depending on how thick the paint is. Repeat the previous step with the second jar and the white paint. The Absolute Cutest Little Easter Critter Cups Ever Cut a small triangle out of the orange felt, which will be the ducks beak. Use hot glue to attach your beak to the centre of the yellow jar and then use the black gems as eyes and attach them with the hot glue on either side of the beak to complete the ducks face. On the white jar, use the black paint to make whiskers in the centre of the jar by painting an X and then add lines out the side to make three whiskers on each side. Add a pink pom pom nose with the hot glue and black gems for the bunny’s eyes. Happy Crafting!
