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:Â
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.

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.

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

Hi What glue did you use for the small parts? I was hoping to do this for a classroom and have kids be able to do it without using a hot glue gun. Thanks!
We like this brand. It’s non-toxic and extra strong.
