Kids Crafts: Carry Along Treasure Can

Madison and I had a great day with crafts today. We did 3 different projects and today I will share the first one. This is a great recycle and kid friendly project (with parents help and supervision).

I also don't know what to call this project.

Carry Along Treasure Can??

Step 1: Get Your Supplies

We used/recycled an empty infant formula can for this project.

Other Supplies:

Anything you want to decorate your can with. We used glitter, ribbon, beads, and flowers.

You Will Also Need:

Measuring Tape/Ruler, Scissors, Glue Gun, Glue Sticks, Paper, and a Pen.

Step 2:

Take off the label of your can and measure it.

Cut your paper to fit around your can.

Step 3:

This is where you and your kids can decorate to your hearts content :)

Let their imaginations run wild.

Have fun and enjoy this time with your little ones. They are only young once.

Madison and I had a wonderful time :)

Step 4:

Glue your decorated paper to the can.

Step 5:

Add your ribbon straps. Flip your can over and hot glue ribbon across the bottom and up the sides. Then tie in a double knot along with a pretty bow. This will be your handle to carry your can from adventure to adventure.

Step 6:

Decorate the lid

We decided to put flowers on our lid.

With the glue gun tip, melt and push through 3 holes to the top of the lid.

Glue flowers in place and cover any gaps with ribbon bows.

How pretty!!!

Come back tomorrow to see the treasures we found :)
