Graduation Applesauce Cups - Party Snack Idea

Craft Supplies:

  • First things first for your graduation applesauce cups – these are just simple apple puree containers from your local grocery store. The circle shaped one with the foil lids on top 🙂 also need some black cardstock paper, low-temp glue gun, scissors, tassels and large wiggle eyes.

Directions:

  • To recreate – cut out a simple 3×3″ inch square out of some black cardstock. You will want ONE square per applesauce cup {keep in mind, if you need to make it larger or smaller – go for it! This is just what I eye-balled for mine} This is the graduation cap.
  • Next is the tassel. You can either buy these premade OR make them yourself {Pinterest to the rescue!} I just wrapped my string around a thick piece of cardstock, several times and tied it off/cut it. Like I said – Pinterest to the rescue! Michaels also has some great premade tassels for this.
  • Now get your LOW TEMP glue gun hot and ready. Grab TWO large wiggle eyes and hot glue them to one side of the applesauce. Repeat for each container.
  • Next up – the adding on the hats. Hot glue the black cardstock squares to the lids of each applesauce containers . Finish off with the tassels in the center of it.
  • Finally – draw on a smiley face with the black Sharpie marker. Add anything else you like for that special look and feel.
  • Then admire your hard work and get ready to gift them away!!!

Graduation Applesauce Cups - Party Snack Idea Graduation Applesauce Cups - Party Snack Idea

Wouldn’t this idea be great for a graduation party? You could stack each graduate applesauce cup up on top of each other, next to a small container of spoons for people to enjoy.

You couldn’t even “gift” these to your child’s class on the last day of school.

And teachers – wouldn’t this be great to give away to the class as well?!

So many ideas on how to “gift” these on graduation day. I just hope it inspired you! And like I said – SUPER EASY to recreate!!! It’s just a matter of having some imagination and running with it. Remember, you can also substitute some steps and materials to fit your needs.

Happy crafting and of course, graduation day! Please don’t forget to share pictures with us if you recreate this idea! You can ALWAYS tag us on Facebook or Instagram for easy sharing! #gluedtomycrafts
