Fun DIY Can Toss Game for Kids!

Craft Materials

Before starting this project, you’ll need the following materials:

Scrapbook Paper, Tin Can, Adhesive Tape, Scissors

I’m so excited to be apart of The Great American BBQ virtual potluck!! I really wanted to work on something fun kids can do at a BBQ. Everyone always remembers to bring the food and drinks but activities for the kids are sometimes forgotten about.

I’ve done this game with my boys many times with old formula cans or coffee cans. I thought I would give the cans a little/easy makeover with some scrapbook paper.

It worked out great!

Getting Started

Since I saved a TON of old formula cans I decided I would use those for my game. They are perfect, especially since they have lids already.

I had my son pick out some scrapbook paper. I was super excited because I had 6 different colored stripes, which worked out great.

Step 1 – Cut Your Scrapbook Paper

I laid my can on top of the scrapbook paper and marked the spot where I needed to cut. I was lucky and it lined up with a stripe on the other side.

I cut my strip and was ready to add to my can!

Step 2 – Add Your Scrapbook Paper

I used some double sided adhesive tape to add my scrapbook paper. LOVE THAT STUFF!!

Step 3 – Fill in The Extra Space

The scrapbook paper did not fit around the can so I cut an extra piece off and filled in the bare spot.

Thank goodness I had a perfect stripe to use to fill in the space! Gotta love that!

Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor a Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor accessories is... you guessed it, FOWERS! I have flowers all over my house, several in each room actually. I even switch them out for the seasons. One of my favorite places to find faux flower arrangements is @homegoods. They have the bet selection to choose from. 🌺🌻

One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is this light fixture I got at @worldmarket. I have been eyeing it for years, and knew when I finally decided to give my bedroom a makeover I had to have it! What a difference a light fixture can make in a room. I love just laying in bed and staring at it, kinda obsessed.

After being in our house for 7 years we finally de After being in our house for 7 years we finally decided in August to start our bedroom makeover. We've put this room off last and focused more on the other rooms in the house since we moved in. For our 20 year wedding anniversary, we decided it was time to give OUR bedroom a makeover now. I feel like it's been a long process, but I'm so happy with what's been done so far. It's so bright and airy in here now, a perfect way to relax and unwind for the day. We still need to shiplap the walls, but I wanted to share a sneak peek.
