As a craft blogger, sometimes the crafty juices just stop flowing. Even I hit a rut every once in awhile.

That’s why I usually like to give myself some “self-care” by regrouping at my favorite craft store, Michaels. It’s the best way for me to “step outside the box” and brainstorm what’s next.

As as I was recently walking the beautiful, long aisles – I came across some bottle caps. I haven’t crafted with them before, nor shared anything on Glued To My Crafts with them so I figured it was time to change it up!

Hence how today’s Bottle Cap Superhero kid craft idea came to life! Perfect for the little crime-fighting boys {and girls} in your life! Plus they double as awesome pretend play pieces. So craft time goes beyond the kitchen table as well!!!

I hope my idea makes you step outside the box as well and inspires you too! Happy crafting, my friends!!!

Bottle Cap Superhero Supplies:

* Popsicle Sticks
* Craft Bottle Caps {affiliate link}
* Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Craft Felt
* Wiggle Eyes
* School Glue
* Scissors

Directions:

* First have children paint their popsicle sticks and bottle caps however they like! The popsicle stick will be the body, while the bottle cap the face. One of each, per craft.
* While they are working on that – cut out some triangles from the craft felt for a superhero cape and a small rectangle for the mask.
* To finish off the Bottle Cap Superheroes – simply glue the bottle cap face to the popsicle stick piece. Then add on the “cape” to the back and felt mask with wiggle eyes to the bottle cap portion. Then add other embellishments you see fit {like glitter, rhinestones etc} before setting aside to let it dry completely.
