It is May. The warm weather is bringing thoughts of summer & summer crafting. I love the colors of summer. I love the fruit, sunshine, flowers & all things outdoors. I have been on a watering can kick lately, which was the inspiration for our bright & sunny craft.
Watering Can Craft
What you will need:
Paper towel paper roll
Tissue paper box
Cardboard
Glue
Buttons
Green pipe cleaner
Acrylic paint
Directions:
Cut a hole big enough to fit a paper towel roll into one of the sides of the tissue box.
Paint the paper towel paper roll & tissue box & let dry.
Draw the outline of your handle onto a piece of cardboard. Paint it & let it dry.
Push the paper towel roll into the tissue box on a slant. Trim the roll to the desired length for your spout.
Use a hot glue gun to glue the handle in place (Let the adults operate the glue gun)
Decorate your watering can. You may do this however you like, but this is how we did ours.
Glue green pipe cleaners in place to form the stems & leaves. Glue buttons above the stems to form flower petals.
Cut out a piece of construction paper & dot with black marker.
Glue to the end of the spout.
