Paint Can Kids Craft Activity

Paint cans can be craftily made into something to hold treasures in, or to give gifts away in. You may use them to hold toys, trinkets, pencils, all kinds of gifts for kids to bring to parties, and any other things you can think of. This is also a pretty simple craft for children.

Things Needed For Paint Can Kids Craft

1 Paint can with Lid
Scrap book paper
Ribbon
Glue
Glitter
Stickers
(pretty much anything your children could use to decorate a paint can)

Directions For Paint Can Kids Craft

Make sure that you clean out the can and the lid, so there is no paint left anywhere.

Use scrapbook paper to go around enitre can. Decorate the can however you would like. For this can there is a different color (blue) scrapbook paper that has the torn look around the edges. This paper was taped around the middle of the can and a piece of ribbon was glued over the top of that.
The words on the ribbon were made with glue and glitter. Spell the letters with your glue, and shake the glitter on top of the glue.
The same technique was used for a piece of paper on the lid of the can.

Use different color ribbon and knots along the handle for a nice finishing touch.

For this paint can there were three bells that had the ribbon threaded through them and tied onto the handle as well.
