Bazinga! Big Bang Theory Pencil Cup
I was inspired by t-shirt I saw in a catalog {here}, but I wanted to change it up just a little.
{source}Because the design on the cup is so dark and would show through white printer paper, I covered the cup first with plain white printer paper and Mod Podge.
Because the printer paper is thin (I was afraid it would tear on the edges of the pencil cup), I wrapped it under the bottom of the cup and over and into the top of the cup. I Mod Podged the paper to the sides of the cup first, then with scissors,clipped the paper at the corners of the top and bottom to make it easier to wrap the paper and fold it down. I let the plain white paper dry well, about 40-60 minutes. Then I positioned my periodic table where I would want it on the cup (I wanted the title “Periodic Table of Elements” to be centered on one of the sides). Once I found just where I wanted the title to be placed, I creased the paper on all the corners. This made it easier to position the image just where I wanted it when it was wet with Mod Podge. |
Again, I attached the paper to the sides of the cup and then clipped the corners to wrap the paper around the bottom and then into the top of the pencil cup.
My Alpha prototype is on the left. I found that the computer paper was thinner than I liked. So on my Beta prototype (on the right), I used card stock and trimmed it so that it wraps like a band around the cup (not covering the bottom or tucking into the top).

I love the BaZnGa! I’d never seen that before.
Haha…too funny!
This is so cute! I love the “alpha and beta” bit 🙂
Sheldon is a cutie! (earmuffs, Hubby). I haven’t seen the show for awhile, but I always enjoy it when I watch it. Hugs, Holly
I just love this pencil holder. I also love Big Bang and like many people, I think Sheldon is my favorite!
I’m a HUGE Big Bang Theory fan!!! We own all seasons on Apple TV and have Big Bang marathons where we watch all the episodes in order. So much fun!!! Love the pencil cup!! Can’t wait til Thursday too!!
Can I tell you adorable this is??? Pinned! I sub b.c Susan, I thought I was subscribed…must not have verified or something.
Not huge BBT fans.My 13 yo tried to get into it..his friend’s dad is a physicist and their fam watches it religiously…( simply to find fault with the equations etc on the blackboard behind the action and stuff!! That;s like me watching Jur Park with MY geologist hubby. Do you have any idea how many inaccuracies are in that movie! wow) ) But for him at 13, hmmm, some of the humor is not good….the last thing we need is more inappro humor around here…Now if he were 17/ 18 and up ( and please God, Please please please, let him be more mature by then or this will kill me)…THEN fine…watch it. It IS pretty funny tho…just not huge fans….we don’t get TV so we watch all shows on DVDs from the lib
