If you’re looking for a fun little craft to do with the tiny human this 4th of July, try these cute (and functional) snack cups. If you’re headed out to watch the fireworks, these will be great for everyone to have their own personal snack of choice.
They’re super simple to make and you might just have everything you need already! The only thing we needed were the cups and you can grab those at your dollar store!
What you’ll need:
- Styrofoam cup(s)
- Red and blue felt (we didn’t have blue felt so we used blue construction paper)
- Red paint, paint pens or markers..
- Paintbrush
- White or silver paint pen, or marker if you’re using blue construction paper, silver glitter for blue felt
- Scissors
- White craft glue
- Black marker or pen
- Silver Glitter
What You’ll Do:
Place cup, open end down, on top of the red felt and trace with a marker.
Cut around the traced circle leaving about a ¾” border around it.
Fold the circle and cut a slit in the center of the circle to allow your scissors to get in. Cut out the inside circle, leaving about a ¼” border around the inside of the trace line. Set felt circle aside.
Paint/draw red stripes all the way around the outside of the cup, stripes should run up and down. Let dry completely.
Cut a strip of blue felt or construction paper about 1.5” wide. Long enough to wrap around the brim of the cup.
For blue felt us
e glue to draw star shapes then sprinkle with silver glitter, for blue construction paper draw stars with your white or silver paint pen or marker.
Glue felt strip/Construction paper strip around the outside of the top of the cup.
Lay red felt circle on to work surface, black trace line facing up.
Line the lip of the cup with white glue and press down onto black trace line. Let dry.
Turn cup over and place on work surface.
When everything is dry, fill with treats and enjoy!
