Hot Chocolate Step By Step Instructions

Step 1: Paint the inside of the clear plastic cup with the brown paint ¾ of the way to the top. Mix a little white paint into the wet brown paint to make a little lighter at the top. Let it dry.

Step 2: Cut a decorative straw to the size that allows it to stick about an inch over the top rim of the cup.

Step 3: Glue the end of the straw to the bottom of the cup and then add a dab of glue the rim of the cup where the straw touches it. Fill the cup with white pom poms and glue the ones on top to each other and the sides of the cup to make “marshmallows”.

Step 4: Using the scissors, cut ribbon and tie it to the handle of the cup.

Step 5: Now, personalize your cup of hot chocolate with paint markers. You can personalize the cup with a person’s name or favorite warm saying. We chose to write I Love Hot Chocolate on the mug.
