CRAFT SUPPLIES:
Before jumping into the step-by-step instructions, gather the following easy-to-find materials. These items are likely sitting in a drawer or are accessible at any craft store:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
- Yellow Craft Paint
- Paint Brush
- Small Paper Plate
- Red Cardstock Paper
- Gray Cardstock Paper
- Black Marker
DIRECTIONS:
- First things first – start off by painting your jumbo popsicle stick “fries” completely yellow.
- Set aside to allow them to dry a bit.
- When ready – take each one and glue them down in the center of a large piece of cardstock paper, in a “bunched” format.
- Now finish off the fries craft by cutting out a large red “fry holder” and gluing it on top of the glued down popsicle sticks.
- Follow that up by adding any other embellishments you see fit {like a simple cutout label that says fries or FRI-YAY on it} before displaying proudly for all to see!!!
- That’s it! An easy peasy fries art project that ANYONE can tackle within minutes!
💡Tip: If you want a more realistic look, try lightly dabbing the edges of the sticks with orange or light brown paint to mimic crispy fries!
