My little sister was upset that I didn't make her a Starbucks lip gloss, so I decided to make a few special ones for her!
Resizing the printable cups: The easiest way to resize the printables is in a word document. Measure the height of the cup you'll be using, and resize the printable cup to the same height :)
Here are the materials I used to make them :
Pinkberry Printables (above)
Scissors
Hot Glue Gun
Hot Glue Sticks
E600 Glue (Or any similar glue)
Mini Cups - Dollar Tree
Polymer clay
1M Icing Tip
Saran Wrap
Acrylic Paint
Hot Glue
Hot Glue Gun

So, I wanted to make a gift for my friend, that is obsessed with Starbucks, and this is what I came up with. A mini Starbucks coffee, that's actually lip gloss!

So I got some watercolor pencils.. and here are my first attempts. I've got more practicing to do, but I'm so inspired! I love this new medium. Next, I'll try regular water colors. But for now these pencils are amazing :)
Also, the sketch pad is made for watercolors (the brand is Windpower Watercolor), and I got it at Sam Flax.. but you can find them almost anywhere.
I've gotten so excited I think I may make a video!
A miniature shopping basket I made of wire, with tiny groceries inside!

I've been trying to make these mini water bottles for so long, and finally I'm finished!
Initially I used resin to make the bottles, but the resin reacted with the purple mold putty I was using and caused tons of unwanted bubbles. So, I switched to Magic-Glos (after months of going back and forth because of the cost).
Magic-Glos cures in sunlight or with a UV light. I found the Magic-Glos and the UV light at Hobby Lobby. I got the UV light for 1/2 off with the coupon, so YAY!
I added the labels for each bottle above. I made them in Photoshop for fun, so you're free to use them, share, and make your own :)
