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!
