[tjclap]

I have a large plain paper coffee cup that I would like to cover with decorative paper.....how do I make a template so that it fits smaller at the bottom and larger at the top?

I know one of you great splitcoast girls will know!!

I haven't done this lately but, I think you can just put the cup down on a large piece of butcher paper or something similar, hold a pencil on the big end and then roll the cup around in a circle then do the same thing but put the pencil on the small end of the cup. Did that make any sense? HTH

Yes that pattern is great, but I need something that will cover the whole cup. I will keep the pattern however that is great! Thanks!

What about taking one of the cup apart and using it for a pattern! Wouldn't that work?

I was in a hurry for Thanksgiving Treats for my husband's church choir! I bought some cups with lids at Wal-Mart...colors were pumpkin, burgundy, brown, caramel...just perfect. I mad a band with a torn-apart cupholder from Starbucks...and attached a "Grateful for You" tag.

More than likely, that WAS my brain storm for 2008!
