Clean the Containers: Make sure your containers are clean and dry. Remove any labels if you’re using cans.
Paint the Base Color: Choose your first rainbow color and apply it to the bottom third of the cup using a paintbrush or sponge. Let it dry completely before moving to the next color.
Layer Additional Colors: Continue adding layers of different colors of paint, working your way up the container.
Add Decorative Elements: After your paint is dry, use craft glue to attach any decorations.
Dry and Display: Allow everything to dry thoroughly. Place your newly crafted rainbow pencil cup on your desk.
