The Directions:
* First glue your popsicle sticks together to look like a fence. Eight next to each other and two across to secure in place.
* Set aside to let it dry completely.
* When it’s dry, you are ready for paint. Squirt some craft paint on your paper plate.
* Grab your foam paint brush and go ahead & paint your craft stick mug shape however you like. I did a light shade of blue for mine.
* When done with that step, set aside the painted wood shape to allow it to dry a bit.
* Now grab your choice of color in cardstock and the scissors.
* Cut out a simple handle shape that will go on the side of the mug.
* To finish off your Hot Cocoa Mug craft – have children glue on the paper mug handle shape, as well as any other embellishments, such as a cotton ball rim of marshmallows and the snowflake sticker to the mug.
* Allow everything to dry completely in an undisturbed location.
* Then display proudly when you are done! Cheers!
