Today I made them a lid and filled them up with beads. These make cute party favors, or work nice as little gifts on a trip, or when your little girl is sick.
I have a shoebox around that I fill with little gifts and fun things like this, and things I find at the dollar store. When the kids are sick, or when we go somewhere where they need to be entertained, all I need to do is get something out of that box. It works great!
Anyway, back to the bead cups! I made these bead cups and took some pictures during the process. Have fun!

Basically any small clear container with a flat edge on top works.

Some of them may have an expiration date printed on them, make sure you remove that too.

(Wait to put on the rhinestones, or other bulky embellishments, you'll see why.)

I found that it helped to put the cups upside down while drying, to make it stay in place.
In order to do that, I had to peel off the rhinestones I already attached in the picture above.
So that's why you had to wait on those!
