DIY Olympic Torch was published first on Uncommon Designs.
I was so excited after I made these DIY Olympic Torches today and just couldn’t wait to show them to you! They are crazy easy, too!
Okay, so I never thought I would purchase one of these and especially not two of them…
Yep, those are neon pink yard plastic “drinking” glasses from Dollar Tree! So pretty right? Hee hee 
I was so excited when I found them! I can only imagine what the sweet old lady in front of me in line was thinking about how excited I was.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not judging those who like these, but the hubs and I have no late night “keggers” planned any time soon! But, aren’t they perfect for Olympic Torches?! I made two of them to place on the food table at our party this weekend!
Here is how to make some for yourself…
Supplies:
-
plastic drinking glass from Dollar Tree
-
some metallic spray paint
-
three sheets of tissue paper (yellow, orange, and red)
Simply spray paint your glasses. I used Rust-oleum’s Hammered finish spray in dark bronze. Once they are dry, stuff all the tissue paper inside the top of the glass just like you would a gift bag! That’s all folks! This was such an easy one and it looks fabulous!
Won’t these be perfect with the DIY Olympic Rings?
