DIY cup holder idea

[Shadraak]

Thinking of making a small holder for my bottle caps I use for gcd. A 1 oz cup for water and for the females a small bottlecap for calcium.

Thinking of using that big tub of air dry modeling clay for kids at walmart and covering it in modpodge. And maybe sand sprinkled on it for grit. Any objections or ideas?

Step one done. Now will take a few days to dry. Then will add more. This one will hold a 2 oz cup for water. A powerade lid for gcd and a water lid for calcium. Or for babies. Will have bugs in big cup. Water in medium and cgd in small. Won't need to seal it or anything. Cause it dries hard and non toxic. Crayola clay. About 5$ for 2.5 lbs.

Great idea!! My guys and girls are always tossing the bottle cap of calcium around.

Ty. I'm not a creative person at all. But this came thru recently. Instead of buying them at 6$+ each I can just make a bug one that will hold the specific things I use myself. And with it drying hard. I won't have to seal it or anything. Which is a plus for me

Pretty much dry. Def learned a lot during this one. Will do better on next one

I like the idea. Bugs in one, water in one, and calcium in another. Very cool. I guess you plan to paint it a little bit after its dry? I thought about doing this same thing but my idea didn't include all 3.

nice

Nah prob not gonna paint it. Guess next one I can hold 2 x 2 oz cups. And a little one for cgd. Not sure if I 2oz cup will hold a few roaches or supers.

I am obsessive about cleaning everything. Will this hold up to washing, or do you need to put some sort of water sealant on the holder?

 

[Shadraak]

No clue. Says dries hard. Will check later. If so I got some mod podge.

Bad news. Brittle and not able to take being wet. So mod podge it is. As I can't find any acrylic sealant that's non toxic.

Mod podge is working. Dries quick. Hope it is waterproof.

Working on a newer version of the holder. Its nicer. More compact doing it in stages
