Easy Paper Lemonade Craft
The thought of a tall, cold glass of lemonade is quintessentially summer. It’s the thought of county fairs and kids sitting on the side of the road with a lemonade stand, trying to make a few dollars. It’s also just one of my favorite drinks. And, our Easy Paper Lemonade Craft is now a new favorite summer craft, too.
Super quick and super easy, this lemonade craft uses not much more than pieces of cardstock and a paper straw for a fun pop off the page. What’s also great about this craft is that kids can work on their shape cutting, with lots of squares and circles.
Summer Lemonade Drink Craft
To make this fun lemonade craft you will need cardstock in white and yellow, an orange marker, paper straws, a glue stick, and scissors.
Paper Straw Lemonade Craft Supplies Needed
- Cardstock – white, yellow
- Orange marker
- Paper straws
- Glue stick
- Scissors
Easy Lemonade Craft Step by Step Directions
Start by cutting a glass from the yellow paper.
To do this, cut a rectangle, fold it then cut a diagonal from the side you can open so that it’s slightly smaller at bottom, larger at top.
Now, cut two circles from the white paper. Cut one of the circles in half. Cut small squares from the white paper, as well.
Make a lemon or orange from the circles using an orange marker. You could use a bright yellow marker instead for a lemon-y look. Simply trace around the edge of the shape, make a small dot at the center, and from the dot, draw diagonal lines.
Next, add the paper straw in the glass then slightly fold the paper straw at the top.
Add the lemons and the ice which are small squares.
Finally, use the orange marker to add bubbles by drawing circles all over the glass.
So sweet and refreshing, you just want to take a nice, long drink! Of the real lemonade, maybe. After you make this darling summer craft.
