Recycled Soup Can Apple Craft Idea
Hi friends! It’s that time of the month again! The Kids Craft Stars and I are joining forces to bring you our MONTHLY craft challenge post.
Every month we have a challenge between us bloggers to in-cooperate a different craft medium or theme into a simple kid craft tutorial. This month’s challenge was to use tin cans in our kid friendly craft idea!
So without further ado – today I present to you our Tin Can Apples craft tutorial that is not only super simple and really inexpensive BUT it’s a clever way to decorate for the upcoming fall season!
If you would like to make this adorable kid craft with your child today, check out the full tutorial below. Plus there are also links to the other bloggers participating in this challenge, so be sure to click around!
Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures if you decide to recreate your own apple decor pieces from upcycled tin cans, with us on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see! #gluedtomycrafts
