How to Make a Trophy for Kids
- 1). Tape the bottom of a disposable plastic, foam or paper cup with masking tape to the open end of an empty toilet paper roll. Position the empty roll in the center of the bottom of the cup so that it makes a stem for the cup to sit on.
- 2). Tape the opposite end of the empty toilet paper roll to the center of the front panel of an empty gelatin box.
- 3). Cover the entire cup, toilet paper roll and gelatin box with a layer of masking tape to make it paint-able. Also, close the open end of the gelatin box while you are taping, to create a solid block base for the trophy.
- 4). Spread newspaper or pages from old magazines over a table to protect it from paint.
- 5). Paint the entire trophy with gold craft paint and a paintbrush. Apply paint to the inside of the cup as well as the entire outside surface of the trophy. Let the paint dry according to the label on the bottle or can.
- 6). Write what the trophy is for onto the base or cup of the trophy, whichever you prefer, with a pencil.
- 7). Paint over your written words with a thin bristled paintbrush and black paint.
