Instructions

  • Simply removed the bottom of the ornament and draw an outline on the bottom of the cup. With an x-acto or scissors, remove the circle you just outlined.

  • Add your gumballs, or in my case, I used chocolate balls because not everyone in Made with HAPPY Girl’s class can chew gum yet. 🙂

  • Turn the cup upside down and slip over the hole you just cut out. Put the top of the ornament back on, and flip back over.
