Step 7: Use your cup as a guide and cut out from the black chalkboard paper a shape just larger than your cup.

Step 8: Choose your favorite Halloween paper from the Nightfall line and mat it on your black base.

Step 9: Fussy cut clouds or other shapes from the Nightfall papers for decoration.

Step 10: Start layering your decorations with foam dots.

Step 12: Attach ribbon for a handle to your cup. Don't worry if you can see the attachers, these will be covered up.

Step 13: Adhere your decorated piece securely to the cup.

Step 14: Add a personalized name tag, fill with treats, and display them until the kiddos can no longer wait!
