Perfect for 4th on the lake or at the cabin!

Gather:

  • 10 blue cups
  • 10 white cups
  • 12 red cups
  • String – about 3 feet (you’ll cut off extra)
  • Ribbon for hanging
  • Hot glue gun (optional)

Poke a small hole in bottom of each cup. Put them in the order as seen in photo. String through the bottom of each. Start to spread out cups evenly as in photo, and tie knot just before spreading last few cups out. Cut excess string or hide in one of the cups. You may want to hot glue in some areas for extra support. Add ribbon for hanging,

Summer pool parties- attach helium filled balloons to fishing line and attach the fishing line to the ends of your pool
