There was a lot of excitement around the new Wonder Woman movie that was released in June 2017. My family loves superheroes…especially Wonder Woman.  In this post, learn how to make a Cardboard Tube Wonder Woman, simply perfect for imaginative play and for celebrating The Wonder Woman Movie release, plus it’s a great recycled cardboard tube craft!

Make a Cardboard Tube Wonder Woman, simply perfect for imaginative play and for celebrating The Wonder Woman Movie release.

Cardboard Tube Wonder Woman

Kids love crafting with cardboard tubes. The chunky, round shape is perfect for little hands. With a little imagination (and a few craft supplies) cardboard tubes can become whatever you wish! This Cardboard Tube Wonder Woman is easy and fun to make. It requires simple rectangular strips of construction paper, gently shaped into Wonder Woman’s costume.

HINT: Now you can preorder the Wonder Woman movie on DVD or BluRay here!

In this post, learn how to make a Cardboard Tube Wonder Woman, simply perfect for imaginative play and for celebrating The Wonder Woman Movie release.

To Make This Craft You Will Need

  • 1 cardboard tube
  • paintbrush
  • peach or light pink paint (I used a color by FolkArt called Seashell Pink)
  • construction paper (red, yellow, blue, and black)
  • 1 silver metallic Sharpie
  • scissors
  • 1 black felt tip pen
  • 1 red colored pencil
  • tape or glue
  • ruler or paper cutter

Directions

After gathering your supplies, paint a cardboard tube light pink or peach. Allow the paint to dry completely.

Next, cut a 2″ x 4″ strip of red construction paper. Gently fold it in half, then round the top and bottom corners. When you unfold it, you will have the top of Wonder Woman’s costume.

Next, cut two 1″ x 4″ strips of construction paper—1 blue and 1 yellow. Fold the yellow paper in half, then cut it into the shape of Wonder Woman’s belt. Cut the blue construction paper into the bottom part of Wonder Woman’s costume. Draw small star shapes on the blue construction paper with the silver Sharpie.

Wrap the red, yellow, and blue pieces around the cardboard tube and tape them in the back. Next cut a small “w” shape from the scraps of the yellow construction paper and glue it to the top of the red costume.

Cardboard Tube Wonder Woman step 3

To make Wonder Woman’s hair, cut a 2″ x 4″ strip of black construction paper. Fold the black construction paper, then cut a space for Wonder Woman’s face. Fringe the ends of the paper before taping it to the top of the cardboard tube.

When all the parts are glued on, use the black felt tip pen to draw eyes and a smile on Wonder Woman’s face. Cut a small crown from yellow scrap paper and glue it on to finish her off.

Isn't this Cardboard Tube Wonder Woman sweet? Perfect for block towers, small hands, and flying in invisible jets.
