How to Make Popsicle Stick Christmas Crafts

Here are the 3 different popsicle stick ornaments we made with step-by-step instructions on how to make them.

Snowman: 

1. First paint 4 popsicle sticks white and glue them together. You can add a mini craft stick to the back to help glue them together.

2. Paint a mini craft stick black and glue to the top of the snowman. Paint the remaining top black.

3. Cut two strips of red glitter paper and add slits to the end. Glue down to make the scarf. Then glue on two small black buttons.

4. Make a carrot nose from orange cardstock and glue on. Then draw the eyes and mouth with a black sharpie.

5. Glue on the snowflake and some twine to the back.

Santa:

1. Glue 4 popsicle sticks together. You can add a mini craft stick to the back to help with gluing them together. Then paint the bottom red and paint the face the color of your choice.

2. Cut a hat out of red glitter paper and glue down to the top.

3. Glue a white pom pom to the top of the hat.

4. Glue on small googly eyes and a red pom pom for the face.

5. Using cotton balls, glue down for the brim of the hat and around the face to make a beard.

6. Glue 3 black buttons down. Add some twine to the back for hanging.

 

Christmas Tree:

1. Paint 2 regular popsicle sticks and 1 mini craft stick green. Glue them together. Add a small gold glitter paper square to the bottom for the trunk. Cut a small square for the trunk from gold glitter paper or brown cardstock.

3. Add a gold glitter star to the top. You can use a gold foam star sticker or cut your own out of gold glitter paper.
