Intro: Jungle Triple Cup Holder

Have you ever been on a long car ride or in a smaller home? Have you ever had cup messes before? Thanks to this simple device that you can make yourself, you no longer face the frustration of being in a tight squeeze and having to throw your cups all around.

STEP 1: Paint Sticks

Paint the popsicle sticks green. Make a splotchy pattern (as shown above) to replicate leaves. Tip: To make splotches, hold your brush upwards with the bristles facing down. Quickly push the brush straight down, then pull it straight back up. You should have a splotch.

STEP 2: Make a Square

Glue each stick together to form a square-shaped frame. Wait for the glue to dry.

STEP 3: Mix & Paint

Mix light and dark green shades together until you get a result you’re happy with. Paint the cardboard strip that shade until you’ve completely covered the strip. Wait for the paint to dry.

STEP 4: Glue the Pieces

Glue the frame and cardboard strip together. While the strip acts as a ”holder” for the rubber band, the frame keeps the cups in.

STEP 5: Add the Rubber Band

Add the rubber band by stretching it over the frame, and onto the cardboard strip. You should have a cup holder now.
