Start by removing the tops of the cartons and setting aside for another craft or composting.
Cut the bottom of the carton up along the divided sections so that you end up with little individual cups.
Paint the outside of each little cup in whatever design and color you’d like. We went with a red and white striped design but feel free to get creative!
Let your paint dry completely then use the sharp knife to gently poke a small hole on each side of the cups.
Use your ribbon or string to string the cups together then tie a knot at each end to keep them in place.
