Minions Made Out of Popsicle Sticks
“Bello” my crafty friends!! Who is ready to see the NEW Minion movie being released this weekend? I know we are!
To celebrate the release of “what looks to be” a really good movie – I recently made this fun Popsicle Stick Minions kid craft with my son. And of course – it was a big hit for us and I just had to share it with you all, in hopes it’s a slam dunk in your house too!
So let’s stop “minion-ing” around and get straight to the simple & inexpensive tutorial – shall we?
Happy crafting and have fun watching the MINION MOVIE, my friends! I just know you are going to have a blast! BTW – don’t forget to share pictures of your finished craft stick minion creations on our Facebook page when you are done. I can’t wait to see how you give each one their own personality! Poopaye! #gluedtomycrafts

And in TRUE fashion around here on Glued To My Crafts – here are THREE other kid friendly craft that goes along perfectly with the minion theme!
For the Paper Plate Minion Kid Craft – simply cut up some yellow tissue paper, glue it all over a paper plate and add similar cardstock pieces, like in the craft above, to give it life!
“M” is for Minion, right? So make an M shape out of popsicle sticks on a sheet of cardstock paper and then decorate it to look like the classic character! EASY PEASY!
