Valentine Treat Cup How-To
1. Print your chosen template on card stock. Cut out with scissors.
2. Punch along dashed line edge with edge punch.
3. Cut out heart shape from center of card stock piece with a craft knife.
4. Wrap card stock around cup and secure with double-sided tape.
Tip: Gently curve card stock with your hands first to avoid the paper cracking and folding when wrapped around cup.

6. Glue gold trim around cup where the crepe paper meets the card stock.

Friendly and Fun!
The video is helpful, although you have to wade through six minutes of absolutely unrelated discussion in a twelve minute video.
Does anyone know where I can find the instructions to make the paper flowers Martha showed at the beginning of part 1?
I wonder if this would also work with some type of fabric? I can't find double-sided crepe paper near me and ordering it for my daughter's class project appears to be cost-prohibitive. Any ideas?
You can buy the double sided crepe paper at www.blumchen.com, They have a fabulous selection!
your printer will do the printing....click on the template and hit print....use the cardstock papers....available at craft stores that sell scrapbooking papers...
if this is a double print..oops.....lol
I am not very computer savvy. Is there particular software or a certain type of printer I need to print the templates?
I am looking to buy the double sided crepe paper for this project, any suggestions? Thank you.
AISH IS MY FAVORITE! :))
I LOVE AISH!
If I did not watch this particular show, where can I see the making of these cups??? Thank you .
