Valentine Treat Can

Feb 10, 2021 | Crafts for Kids, Family Activities, Party Ideas, Seasons & Holidays, Valentine's Day | 7 comments

This treat can is easy to make. All you need is a metal can, wire, paint, and embellishments.

Clean your can and remove label. You’ll need to take off the bottom of the can too. Be sure to use a can opener that doesn’t leave sharp edges.
>
Using an awl or a nail, hammer two holes on each side of the top of the can.

Using the hammer pound the bottom of the can flat together.

The top remains open.
Now paint, decorate, add a wire for the handle, and fill with a special treat.

So cute. I need an inexpensive Valentine’s craft for 17 girls. This would be perfect! Thanks.

What a great idea! Smashing cans . . . that’s my kind of craft!

That’s the best part of the craft.
