Step 1: Cut an 8x8 piece of lightweight cardstock. Now get ready for a little origami!

Step 4: Fold the top over and glue it lightly to keep it in place.


Step 5: Turn the paper over and repeat the last fold with the other side.

Step 7: Use your cup as a guide and cut out from the black chalkboard paper a shape just larger than your cup.

Step 13: Adhere your decorated piece securely to the cup.


Step 14: Add a personalized name tag, fill with treats, and display them until the kiddos can no longer wait!
