Cardboard Craft Tube Superheroes – Kid Craft Tutorial

We want you to fight the crime of “boredom” with us today! Check out our creative Craft Tube Superhero kid craft idea below! It’s sure to beat the “boredom blues” AND be well loved by your children, as well! #gluedtomycrafts

Did you know Michaels sells colored paper craft tubes?

They are very much like toilet paper rolls you have in your home BUT these are more sturdy and pre-colored in fun, bright colors {and in some cases – these craft tubes are a lot cleaner than those from the bathroom!}

Anyways – long story short, when I saw these tubes for sale at Michaels, I instantly saw “superheroes.” And although my husband thought I was a bit crazy for spending $4 on the 12 pack of cardboard tubes, my son absolutely LOVED the pretend play pieces we made out of them together.

We step our finished pieces up in the living room with his toy cars and a house made out of Legos. It was simple fun that made his day and of course, my crafty heart was happy too!

Keep scrolling to see how I made these Craft Tube Superheroes come to life with my son recently!

So if you want to make some Craft Tube Superheroes of your own, may I suggest you pick up a pack of cardboard tubes, as well as some colored craft felt, medium sized wiggle eyes, puffy paint and a low temp glue gun?

Then cut your craft felt pieces into capes, masks etc and hot glue them to your tubes.

Easy-easy! Then finish off with the wiggle eyes, a puffy paint “S’s” and maybe even some glitter for a custom look!

Although I don’t have a full tutorial to share for this particular craft like I normally do {because seriously, it’s so easy to recreate as you can see!} I still hope you find some inspiration somewhere along the lines of this blog post :-)
