Unleash your creativity – build a majestic bald eagle with just some popsicle sticks and glue!

Craft Supplies:

Make sure you have these supplies ready before beginning your crafting adventure:

School Glue
Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 9 per craft
Regular Popsicle Sticks – 4 per craft
White Cardstock Paper
Orange Cardstock Paper
Scissors
Marker or Pencil
Craft Paint – in shades of brown or red/white

Directions:

Protect your workspace by covering it with a plastic tablecloth or newspapers to keep the mess under control.

First grab all your craft sticks and your school glue.
You will want to build a basic frame for your bald eagle. This is done by laying SEVEN jumbo popsicle sticks next to each and securing them with two jumbo popsicle sticks {like a fence}
Once that is done, glue the remaining four popsicle sticks, onto the frame to look like feathers {see above photo for an example.}
Set finished pieces aside in an undisturbed area to allow it to dry completely.
Now you will want to paint your popsicle stick frame. We used brown paint for a more traditional look of a bald eagle and blue/red for a patriotic one.
When done painting, set aside to let it dry completely.
To finish off your Craft Stick Bald Eagle, simply trace your child’s hands {the wings} on the white cardstock paper.
Trim out the traced designs for the feathers.
With the leftover cardstock, trim out a head and small triangle beak for the bald eagle.
Now glue all your cardstock pieces in their designated spots and display your finished pieces proudly!
