Hot Chocolate Mug Craft Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {8 per hot chocolate mug craft}
* School Glue
* Light Blue Craft Paint
* Foam Paint Brush
* Small Paper Plate
* Basic Craft Scissors
* Blue Colored Cardstock
* White Cotton Balls
* optional embellishments – snowflake stickers

Directions:

* First glue your popsicle sticks together to look like a fence. Seven 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 Popsicle Stick Hot Chocolate Mug – 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!
