This sparkleball is 2 inches smaller than the Original. The cups are 4 oz portion or souffle cups from Dart. They’re really short, which means the lights are closer to the top of the cup and there’s tons of room for cord in the center. Randy and Brandon Schimka introduced me to the 4 oz cup.
When using smaller cups, how many cups do you need?
Hi Laurie, it depends on the shape of the cup. Little Portion Cups like the ones above are shaped like mini-Solo cups, and it takes the same number as the Original Sparkleball — 50. But if you use shot glasses, it takes 108 and uses a different formula. See the DIY in the menu for Mini-Sparkleball. Good luck!
