  • elmer's glue

  2. Cut all the way around one of the cups, about one inch from the bottom.  Make the finished edge as smooth as possible.  (prepare this step in advance if working with a group)  
  3. Place about 2 Tbs of glue on a paper plate.

  5. Gently stack the cut cup with the glue inside the clean uncut cup.
  6. Lay the square of net on top of the cup with the glue - gently press the net into the glue.  If gaps appear between the net and the cup, additional drops of glue may be needed
  7. Allow this to dry for about 1/2 hour.
  8. Cut around the cup to trim off the excess net.
  9. The outside cup can be decorated with puff paints or permanent markers.  

Separate the cups to catch your bugs, then restack.
