Using the wire cutters, cut a white pipe cleaner (chenille stems) into 4 equally sized pieces.

Thread three of the cut white chenille stems through the pink pony bead. Spread the chenille stems out like whiskers.

Set the cup upright. Glue the pink pony bead on the cup for the nose.

Cut two small triangle shapes out of the black craft foam for the ears.

Glue the ears to the inside - the front of the cup. Glue the wiggle eyes above the nose and whiskers.

Cut the black chenille stem to a suitable length and curl it like a cat's tail.

Glue the last piece of chenille stem to the back of the cup. Let it dry completely. Fill with treats.

Cut a single bat wing out of black craft foam, and using the glue gun, glue to the back of the cup. Let dry.

Cut two triangles out of the black foam for the bat's ears.Glue to the inside front of the cup.

Glue two wiggle eyes to the front of the cup near center.

Cut two small triangles out of the white foam sheet for teeth and glue these to the front of the cup below the eyes.Let it dry completely.

Monster - Little Franky

Cut a jagged hair line from the black craft foam sheet below a straight edge. Glue the hairline to the top of the cup, with the straight edge at the top. Wrap a rubber band around the hair to hold in place while it dries.

Cut a two inch piece of black chenille stem below the hair for your monster's eye brow.

Below the eyebrow, glue two wiggle eyes close together.

Glue orange pony bead below the eyes for a nose.

Cut two bolt shapes out of the white foam sheet and glue them on the back of the cup. Position them so that they stick out and are easily visible from the front of the cup.

Let it dry completely.

Fill with treats!

Mummy

Cut out a "T" shape from the green craft foam. Glue the "T" shape to the front of the cup.

Cut out a set of lips from the green craft foam. Using a black marker, draw a line to create the illusion of two lips. Glue the lips below the "T" shape on the front of the cup.

Tear a sheet of paper towel into small strips. Using glue, attach the strips of paper to the cup, but only partially cover the "T" shape. Be sure to leave the lips uncovered.

When the entire cup is covered with the paper towel "bandages," glue two eyes to the top of the "T" shape.

Next glue a green pompom onto the front for a nose.

Fill the cup with treats!
