Celestial Dreams Pencil Cup
Reach for your handy art supplies—and reach for the stars, your goals and dreams for the future!
1. Think of all the poems, artwork, and song lyrics about reaching for the stars. It is a powerful image! Does the expression inspire you to achieve? This pencil cup can help you keep your goals in mind.
2. Roll out enough Black Stars Crayola Model Magic® Fusion™ modeling compound to cover a plastic container with a thin layer. Decorate the celestial background any way you like. Here are a few ideas.
3. Partially mix small amounts of white and Blue Sky Fusion™ compound to create marbleized effects that you might see in space (perhaps planet Earth). Roll into small balls and press them onto the covered cup.
4. Roll out a thin sheet of white or Glow in the Dark Fusion™ compound. Use Crayola Scissors to cut out stars. Attach these to the cup as well. Air-dry before filling with your markers, crayons, and colored pencils. Model Magic® Fusion™ dries to the touch overnight and dries completely in 2 to 3 days.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
