It's very easy to create your own ladybug cups. It would also be a fun project for the kids to make their own cups and an is party craft project that doesn't take a lot of time or cause a big mess.

Once you've created your ladybug cup, you can use it for:

1. Drinks
2. Party favors - Add red, black or white tissue paper and then fill with candy or small party favors
3. Pinata candy - If you're having a pinata, the kids can use these cups to fill up with candy.
4. Turning into ladybug pails - To turn your ladybug cup into a mini pail simply punch 2 small holes in the cup just below the rim and across from each other. To create the handle, slip a pipe cleaner into each end of the hole and twist the ends up to secure it.  

Option 1 (red cups with black glitter polka dots)

• Red paper or plastic cups
• Tacky double stick sheet (it's like a sticker but tacky on both sides)
• Paper punch that punches out round circles (if you don't have you can use scissors, which are a little more inconvenient but will work)
• Black glitter

1. Use your paper puncher to punch out circle (polka dot) shapes out of the tacky double stick sheet.
2. Peel off one side of the circles (polka dots) and stick them on the cup, pressing firmly to secure.
3. Peel off the top part of the circles (polka dots) and sprinkle with glitter.
4. Use a tissue to remove excess glitter. 

Option 3 (red cups with black or white polka dots)

• Red paper or plastic cups
• Paper Punch
• Black or white construction paper
• Glue

1. Use the paper punch to punch out circle (polka dot) shapes out of the construction paper.
2. Glue the circles (polka dots) onto the cup.
