Skip the mess of traditional pumpkin carving with today’s Popsicle Stick Jack-O-Lantern kid craft idea!!!

Using simple supplies like wooden craft sticks, paint and a little cardstock – you and your little pumpkins can create one-of-a-kind pieces that are awesome to show off ALL SEASON LONG!

Completely customizable and lots of fun so let’s grab those craft supplies and get to work! Happy crafting my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {3 per pumpkin}
* School Glue
* Orange Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Orange/Black/Brown/Green Cardstock
* Scissors
optional – ribbon, glitter, rhinestones

Directions:

* First grab three popsicle sticks {three per jack-o-lantern} and glue them together to look like a triangle. Set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat for each piece you want to make.
* Now grab your orange craft paint. Go ahead and paint the popsicle stick design completely orange. Set aside again, to let it dry completely.
* While that is drying, grab your orange cardstock and cut a triangular shape that will be placed within the popsicle stick design. At this time, you should also cut out other jack-o-lantern facial features from the black cardstock, as well as a stem/leaf from the remaining.
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Jack-O-Lanterns – have children glue on their cardstock pieces to the popsicle stick shape. Finish off with any other embellishments they see fit & set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
