Girl Scout Cookie Necklace from a Plastic Cup

To all of you moms of Girl Scouts or Girl Scout leaders....here is a little craft project idea!  These are little necklaces or keychains you can make using plastic cups, Sharpies, and an oven!!!

You will need:

3 oz. Plastic Bathroom Cups (the 9 oz. translucent cups work too, but you may need to adjust baking time)

Permanent Markers

Baking Sheet and Foil

Hole Punch and String or Ribbon

Oven preheated to 350 degrees F

Step 1: Use the markers to draw a design on the cup.  

Step 2: Punch a hole in the cup just below the rim. 

Step 3: Place cup(s) on foil-covered baking sheet and place in center of oven. 

WATCH CAREFULLY!!!!  It only takes about 10-20 SECONDS for the cup to melt!!

Step 4: Remove from oven and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes. 

Step 5: Add a ribbon and the necklace is ready to wear and advertise cookie sales;)

ELFSTER
What does Elfster do? (It's FREE by the way!)
*Elfster randomly draws the names for the gift exchange!  It just takes a little bit of setting up the exchange by entering emails, needing everyone's approval, etc., but once you hit "Draw Names," each person gets an email with their Person! You can even specify which names someone can't have. For example, we don't let kids get their parent's name.  That way the parents don't have to shop for themselves!
*Elfster allows each person to set up their wish list and you can even mark "Purchased" when you purchase something for your Person.
*Elfster sends reminders for birthdays and allows you to "follow" any wish list within your group.
*You can send anonymous questions to your Person!  This is great if they forgot to include a size or if something on their wish list is sold out and you want to ask them about an alternative!
*You can have child accounts linked to the parent account so you don't need to keep signing out of your own to get into the kids' accounts!

We have a total of 18 people on my side of the family, so this is the best and easiest way to manage an exchange of that size!  WE LOVE ELFSTER!!!!!
