Use craft sticks to make cute craft stick decorations with your kids to decorate your Christmas tree or to use as puppets for stories or sing-alongs!
Aren’t these craft stick decorations not too adorable? And it was such fun to make,too!
What you need:
- craft sticks(the thick ones)
- paint(red, white, brown, green)
- googly eyes
- pipecleaners(brown, striped)
- felt(red, white, black, green)
- mini pompom(red)
- small buttons
- cotton wool
- other decorative items of choice
What to do:
First, paint the sticks. We painted them red, white and brown. For the Elf, we used floral tape and wound it around the stick, but one can simply paint it green too.
Brown pipe cleaners were added to make the deer’s antlers. The Father Christmas(or Santa) got a red felt hat. Elf received a green felt hat, and the snowman a black one. Then we added the eyes, noses, and other decorative items.
Lella (at the time 3 years old) needed some help with this activity, but older kids can easily do it themselves.
Our 4 craft stick decorations makes our tree look so pretty! Each year crafts we add to the tree. I write the date at the back to keep track, and they fill up our tree more and more! At this rate, in a few years time, all the store bought decorations will stay in the box, or maybe be upcycled, hmmm…
Have fun making cute craft stick decorations with your kiddos this Christmas!
