Duck Dynasty gift cup!

The first DIY craft I want to share with you all is one of my most recent creations, a Duck Dynasty gift cup! I love me some Duck Dynasty, the guys just crack me up and always put a smile on my face. 
So, my coworkers birthday was last week and I wanted to get her a little something but couldn't think of anything to get her. I took a trip to Walmart and found an awesome Duck Dynasty cup! Since she is also a fan of  Duck Dynasty, I picked one out for her but I didn't really know what I was going to do with it yet.
I came up with a few ideas of items I wanted to use to put inside the cup but I wanted all of the items to have something to do with Duck Dynasty as well. So, I thought of some of their catch phrases, and of course I knew I had to do something that correlated with "Hey, Jack!" So, for that correlation I used a box of Cracker Jacks and just stuck a cute note on it that said, "That's a fact, Jack!" I also bought a packet of Snapple tea singles to go, I took them out of the box and tied them with some cute ribbon. On the tea I stuck a note that said, "Si-weet Tea!" Get it? Uncle Si, Si-weet! :) The last item I put in the cup were some Snickers minis. I filled the cup with Snickers but I stuck one on the Cracker Jacks box with a note that said "Squirrel Brains!" on it. According to Miss Kay, squirrel brains make you smart so I thought it would be cute to add those in there. 
Here's a close up picture of all the items:

It was a really inexpensive gift and really easy to put together. The cup was $1 a Walmart. I bought the Cracker Jacks, tea and Snickers at the Dollar tree, all for $1 each. The Cracker Jacks come in a packet of three but only one would fit in the cup so I only used one box. The normal sized boxes of Cracker Jacks that they sell at grocery stores are too big to put in a cup so I'm glad I was able to find a packet of smaller boxes at the Dollar Tree. The tea also came in a box but I took them out of the box because those didn't fit in the cup either. The Snickers came in a small package but I also opened those and put them in the cup because that's the only way they would fit. 
The final product looked like this: 
All I did was wrap the cup in cellophane, which I also bought a roll of at the Dollar Tree for $1. I tied some ribbon on it and stuck a note on the outside of it that said, "Happy Happy Happy Birthday!"  I printed the notes on grey construction paper and stuck all of them on with tape. I hope you guys liked my DIY craft. Let me know if you make your own, I would love to see pictures of your own Duck Dynasty gift cups! Quack ya next time! 

Love,
