Craft Stick & Pipe Cleaner Popsicles

Pipe Cleaner Popsicles - Unique Summer Kid Craft Idea

Pipe Cleaner Popsicles – Unique Summer Craft Idea

If you have been a long time reader of Glued To My Crafts, you might already know that I like to think “outside” the box when it comes to our kid craft tutorials.

I like to come up with craft ideas for kids that NO ONE has done {or shared on the internet} before. Quite frankly – it gives me quite a thrill to do so as well!

So let introduce to YOU to our first seen here, Pipe Cleaner Popsicles kid craft idea. It truly is a first of it’s kind and perfect for slightly older children to recreate!

It all stemmed from a recent trip to Michaels and a poll I conducted with my Facebook friends. From there, it kinda just steamed rolled into what this popsicle craft tutorial that you landed on today! After several “failed” attempts, I’m finally confident in the finished ice cream inspired craft piece and I hope you see my vision & more importantly, that it inspires you as well!

Please remember – to make this craft work, you will need TONS of Tacky Glue or a hot glue gun to make it work. However – I think you’ll be surprised with your masterpiece afterwards! They make for great pretend play pieces and even summer decor! The choice is yours and I hope we inspired you today!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t let idea melt away – it’s time to get to your epic craft time event! Keep scrolling for the step instructions below!

Then, when you are done crafting it, make sure you snap a few pictures to share with us on our Facebook page wall. This way YOU can inspire me through your hard work! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

PAIR OUR POPSICLE STICK CRAFT WITH —> Craft Spoon Cherries

Craft Stick & Pipe Cleaner Popsicles Craft Stick & Pipe Cleaner Popsicles

Craft Supplies:

  • Bright Shades of Colored Pipe Cleaners {about 8-10 per crafts}
  • Sharp Craft Scissors
  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {4 per craft}
  • Mini Popsicle Sticks {2 per craft}
  • Tacky Craft Glue or Hot Glue Gun
  • White Tulip Puffy Paint
  • Loose Craft Glitter

Instructions:

  • First assemble your popsicle sticks for the base of the craft. Take THREE jumbo popsicle sticks {out of the four} and lay them next to each other.
  • Finish off with the two mini popsicle sticks, going the opposite direction, to create a fence or door shape.
  • The final step in building the base, is to glue the remaining jumbo stick on top of the first piece, to give the look of a popsicle. See our picture above for an example.
  • Be sure to place your popsicle stick base in an undisturbed area so it can dry completely.
  • Now grab your pipe cleaners. Cut them in half.
  • Once your base is dry go ahead and glue your pipe cleaner pieces on.
  • Finish off your Pipe Cleaner Popsicles by adding some white puffy paint to give the popsicles some dimension. Go ahead and also sprinkle on loose craft glitter for some fun!
  • Then leave as is OR add other embellishments like glitter, puffy paint etc.
  • When done decorating, allow it all to dry completely before you display and/or play with them proudly!

PAIR YOUR POPSICLES WITH —> Pipe Cleaner Carrots

Make Them POP:

  • Add “sprinkles” to your popsicles by pulling out rainbow colored pom poms, pony beads and maybe even feathers, to customize the “toppings.” A polka dot design of colorful beads would be perfect in my opinion!
  • Hot glue craft yarn to the back of your finished piece, to turn it into an ornament for the Christmas tree.
  • Give your popsicles personality by hot gluing googly eyes to the finished design. This way it becomes a puppet you can play with!
  • For another twist to this craft, swap out the pipe cleaners for paper straws or plastic straws instead!
  • My last “suggestion” is to turn these popsicles into bookmarks! Just take the finished piece and slide into a book to mark your spot!
