Craft Supplies:
Gather these basic materials before you begin. Most can be found at home or any nearby craft store:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 3 per craft
- School Glue
- Pink Craft Paint
- Paint Brush
- Small Paper Plate
- Pink Scrapbook Paper
- Glitter Cardstock Paper
- Brown Cardstock Paper
- Scissors
- Black Marker
- Embellishments
Directions:
Follow these simple steps, whether you’re crafting as a family or planning a weekend activity with a group of kids.
- Start by gathering three jumbo popsicle sticks and glue them together to form a simple triangle.
- Set the triangle aside to dry. Repeat this step for each princess house craft you’d like to make.
- Once the glue has dried enough to handle, grab your popsicle stick triangle, craft paint, a paper plate, and a paintbrush.
- Squeeze some craft paint onto the paper plate, and use the paintbrush to completely cover one side of the popsicle stick triangle.
- Let the painted triangle dry completely before moving on to the next step.
- Next, take your cardstock and scissors. Cut a large triangle from either scrapbook paper or colored cardstock that will fit perfectly inside the painted popsicle stick frame.
- From brown cardstock, cut out a door and a chimney. Use a black Sharpie to draw a doorknob on the door and add “bricks” to the chimney for extra detail.
- Using gold glitter cardstock, cut out a crown-shaped piece to serve as the roof of your princess house.
- Now it’s time to assemble! Gather all your paper pieces, the painted popsicle stick triangle, and some school glue.
- Start by gluing the cardstock triangle to the back of the painted popsicle stick frame.
- Attach the crown-shaped roof to the top front of the popsicle stick frame.
- Add the door, chimney, and any additional details like windows.
- Finish off your craft by decorating it with Halloween stickers to give your popsicle stick princess house a festive touch.
- Allow the finished creation to dry completely before putting it on display. Show off your craft stick castle proudly in your home!
