Thank you Juicy Juice for sponsoring this fun Crafts for Tweens post. All opinions and ideas are 100% our own. 

Even as kids get older, our teens and tweens do not completely outgrow all the things that were fun for them when they were younger. Sometimes, it’s just a matter of changing things and creating a little bit of the “cool” factor to appeals to their maturing tastes.  Crafts for tweens and teens is definitely one of those areas.

While they aren’t liked to get really excited about finger painting or paper plate animals, they still like to express themselves creatively.  Tweens and teens also definitely love being able to personalize their belongings and they spend a ridiculous amount of time on the go to all their various activities. So, these sparkle tumblers are a perfect match to their current preferences and lifestyle.

Do you have a creative tween and teens who has always loved crafts, but needs something a little more grown-up to make? These sparkle tumbers are the perfect crafts for teens and teens. They can personalize them to their own tastes with lots of different sparkles and glitter to choose from and then they are perfect for their busy lives on the go. Crafts for Teens and Tweens Sparkle Tumblers. SunshineandHurricanes.com

I picked up all the supplies and had them sitting on the kitchen counter for my teen daughter and a few of her friends when they got home after school one day. The minute they spied the sequins and glitter, there were squeals of excitement and they couldn’t wait to get started!

Crafts for Tweens and Teens – Sparkle Tumblers

You only need a few inexpensive items for this craft. You can pick them up at most craft stores like Michael’s or Hobby Lobby or you can order them online.

Here’s a Handy List for You (Super Short Like We Said):

Acrylic Tumbler with Straw

Martha Stewart Crafts Fine Glitter

Sequins and Spangles

To get started on our crafts for tweens and teens Sparkle Tumbler, you simply screw the bottom portion of the cup off and turn it upside down. Drop the sequins of your choice down into the sides of the cup.

Now you can stop with just the sequins OR you can step things up a notch and add some glitter. IF you are going to use glitter, here is our advice to you:

  1. Use a HIGH quality glitter
  2. Go easy on the glitter

If you put too much glitter in, it’s going to have a tendency to all clump together in your cup and just want have that special sparkle you’re going for. Less is more in this case.

Once you’ve got your sequins and glitter added, then carefully fill the space with water almost to the top and then screw back on the bottom plastic portion of the cup. Give it a shake and you can ooh and ahh at your sparkly new tumbler.

Of course, if you’re tween or teen is going to have this amazing new personalized tumbler, they’re going to want something fun to put in it.  One great new option for your tweens and teens are Juicy Juice Teasers.

Crafts for Teens Juicy Juice Teasers.

As my kids get older, they are wanting more grown-up drinks. We live in the South and so sweet tea is a favorite here, but it tends to come packed with lots of sugar and caffeine. I also know coffee drinks are gaining in popularity, but again, you’ve got that whole caffeine problem.

Juicy Juice Teasers are a blend of juice and decaffeinated and caffeine-free teas that give tweens and teens the variety and more grown-up taste they want, but with lower-sugar and no high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners.

Juicy Juice Teasers comes packed in convenient 10-ounce single-serve six-packs as well as economical 64-ounce bottles. Which one do you think would be your tween or teen’s favorite?

    Great idea! I’m thinking of using this in my daughter’s birthday party. Does the water leak out of the cups? Did you secure the seal with tape or glue?

      It doesn’t leak if you use a good quality cup for the craft. We did not have any issues.

    These sparkle tumblers are such a great craft idea for doing with older kids. I think this would even be a fun activity to do with my middle school students.

    Your sparkle/glitter craft is really cute, and tween-appropriate. Those Juicy Juice Teasers really look like something that my nephew and I can get into…I will have to keep an eye out for them.

    I remember making something similar when I was in Girl Guides except we coloured pictures and put them inside. This is much nicer though. Saving this for my daughters next birthday. This would be an excellent craft!

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
