DFB-Pokal - this is how the body works

Try the entire look and feel of the cup at the Handcraft to copy, the exact dimensions are not in the foreground.

1. Use photos of the trophy as a template, with which you can check the proportions of the trophy and the arrangement of the different elements.
2. Use a 1.5 l PET bottle with a quasi-waisted middle section as a connecting element between the foot and the upper cup. This point with a smaller diameter forms the transition between the upper and lower part of your DFB-Pokal replica.
3. Cut the bottom of the bottle to the level of the foot and also cut the top of the bottle where it starts to taper.

4. Now cut parallel longitudinal cuts 2 to 3 cm wide in the upper and lower parts of the bottle, up to a distance of 2 to 3 cm from the connecting part. You use the incised longitudinal strips to glue the base and goblet of the cup to the middle part.

5. Shape the base and the chalice out of sturdy and flexible cardboard. Use a 5 liter bucket and a 10 liter bucket for shaping. Roll a sheet of cardboard of the appropriate size around the object, note the correct height and use a pen to mark the upper and lower cut edges of the slightly conical shapes.
6. Take into account an adhesive flap or a short overhang with which you staple the long sides together. Measure the cup part twice. You need a, albeit slightly larger, second layer, with which you create the circumferential, furrowed rings of the calyx by sticking them on afterwards.
7. Model missing moldings in the central area with paper mache. Glue individual strips of newspaper strips soaked with wallpaper paste.

This is how the cup gets its color

1. Spray the cup with matt gold paint at a sufficient distance. Several misty spray coats are advisable, with sufficiently long breaks in between so that the paint can dry briefly and does not run.
2. Paint the surrounding grooves shiny gold with the help of a brush.
3. Stick the writing and figures of your cup replica onto suitably shaped cardboard discs with gold foil in order to achieve the punched-out, raised shape. The same applies to the two circumferential lettering in capital letters, namely "German Football Association" at the top and "Club Cup" at the bottom. Before you stick the gold foil on the cardboard discs, paint or spray the edge gold-colored.
4. Glue the two gemstone rings at the top and bottom of the goblet with craft gemstones made of plastic. The upper ring of your replica consists alternately of whitish-crystal stones and anthracite-colored stones, the lower one of round, polished jade stones.
5. You make the gemstone with the embossed DFB emblem from the bottom of a cappuccino can, which you adapt to the shape of the cup. Model the multi-pointed star salt doughthat you then paint.
