Cup For Dad

This is a quick and easy project and is wonderful for Father's Day to include those gift cards, money, candy, pens etc. It is quick and easy, no special tools needed.

Video Tutorial: https://youtu.be/QJmvRG4In4c

Cardstock 7 1/2"x11 1/2"
On long side score every 1 1/2" to the end. You will be left with a 1" piece at the end.
Turn one turn and score at 2" and 5 1/2"

Fold and bunish your score lines. Cut up on all the score marks on each side just to the vertical score lines. One side of these flaps that you just cut apart will fold into the cup to make the top edge finished, the other flaps will create the bottom closure.

Fold over the flaps for the top leaving the one at the end closest to the 1" score line, do not glue this one yet.

On the 1" panel you have you will need to cut off the two end pieces just leaving the center piece to glue the cup together.

Mats are cut at 3 1/4"x 1 1/4", glue these on before you put the cut together this is easier to do now.

Now put adhesive on the 1" flap and glue the cup together. Glue the bottom flaps together making sure to check the shape of the cut as you glue. Glue flaps from opposite sides together, wet glue is easier here, so you can move around to keep the shape.

Handle is cut at 1 1/2x6 invhrd. score on the short side down the middle at 3/4" glue together  and shape for the handle. Fold back 1/2" on each end to glue to the cup side. Glue the handle on the side with the 1/2" flaps.

Decorate and fill and the cup is finished.
