This popsicle stick pirate ship craft is perfect for any young buccaneer to make this summer!
Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
- Regular Sized Popsicle Sticks
- Skull Paper Punch
- School Glue
- Red Craft Paint
- Black Craft Paint
- Brown Craft Paint
- Paint Brushes
- White Cardstock Paper
Directions:
- First assemble the base of your ship by gluing together a basic popsicle stick frame/fence {5 jumbo sticks laid next to each other and two regular size popsicle sticks, one on each side, to anchor everything together}
- Next glue down the jumbo popsicle stick to the center of the boat to create the flag pole.
- Finish it off by gluing six popsicle sticks in a line, to create a flag from the flag pole.
- Set it all aside to let it dry completely.
- Now grab your paint and add your personal touches. We did the boat in brown and did the flag in a black/red alternating pattern.
- Set aside to let it dry completely.
- Once dry, grab your white cardstock and punch/cut out a pirate skull design from it.
- To finish off the Popsicle Stick Pirate Ship craft, have children glue the cardstock piece in the center of the flag.
- Then display proudly!!
