Step 1. First you will want to download and print the free popsicle template. Then trace it on your felt pieces with a marker {or free style a design if you like!} Trim out with your scissors. Repeat for each popsicle craft you want to make.
Step 2. Now grab your glue and glue each felt cutout piece to a single wooden craft stick to give the look of a popsicle. Repeat for each piece.
Step 3. Now it’s time for the embellishments. Have children go wild and let them decorate their pieces however they like! Remember you are not limited to what you use either. You can use rhinestones, buttons and even feathers to make some one-of-a-kind creations!
Step 4. Once your child is done decorating their pieces, set it all aside to let it dry completely before displaying and/or playing with!
So what are you waiting for? Don’t let this idea MELT away! Grab those craft supplies and get to work on helping your child make their very own collection of craft stick popsicles! Don’t forget to make a few pieces yourself so you can join in on the fun too!
