Popsicle Stick Christmas Tree Ornament
Materials:
- Popsicle sticks
- Green paint or markers
- Glue
- Assorted colored buttons or sequins
- Ribbon, burlap twine or string
- Scissors
- Small star sticker or cut-out (optional)
Instructions:
- Paint or Color the Sticks:
- Start by painting the sticks green. If you don't have paint, you can use green markers or crayons to color them.
- Create Tree Shape:
- Once the sticks are dry, arrange them in a triangle shape to form the Christmas tree. The bottom stick should be a bit longer than the other two to create a tree shape.
- Or you can make a triangle with the sticks and place some in the middle like the photo.
- Glue Popsicle Sticks:
- Use glue to attach the sticks together. Press them firmly and let the glue dry completely.
- Use hot glue (parents only) or heavy wood glue.
- Decorate the Tree:
- Let the kids get creative by decorating their Christmas tree with buttons or sequins. They can glue these on to represent ornaments.
- Add a Star:
- If you have a small star sticker or cut-out, place it at the top of the tree to represent the star on the Christmas tree.
- Attach Ribbon or String:
- Cut a small piece of ribbon or string and create a loop. Attach one end to the top of the Christmas tree using glue, creating a loop for hanging.
- Let it Dry:
- Allow the ornament to dry completely before handling or hanging.
Now, you have a simple and adorable stick Christmas tree ornament or decoration that the kids can proudly hang on the tree or give as a homemade gift.
Feel free to customize the craft with additional embellishments like glitter, pom-poms, or any other festive materials you have on hand.
Enjoy the crafting process and have a Merry Christmas!
