You guys! I was walking through Michaels today {shocker} trying to come up with clever new tutorials for Glued To My Crafts, when I stumbled upon some adorable macaroon planner stickers.

After thinking it over {and nearly buying them all} I came to the conclusion that I needed to craft something up ASAP in honor of my sweet and non-fattening find!

After debating and searching through my crafty rolodex brain, right there in the store, I through “hey – these are like my popular Popsicle Stick Smores.” Why not “reinvent the wheel” and go from there!

Fast forward. I then came home and WAM BAM fifteen minutes later, here we are now! Welcome to my latest Popsicle Stick Macaroon Friends kid craft tutorial!

These smiling “friends” are very similar to the previous {and super viral} smores craft you will find from us but this idea is in fun colors instead!

You can of course change up these materials, the style and colors to reflect YOU, just like all the delicious macaroons you can find in restaurants, bakeries and cafes!

My favorite part of this DIY? Since we used pre-colored popsicle sticks, we skipped the mess of messy dry time, which meant more time for craft time! So just as fun as the real thing, you can make them in ALL the colors you like with ease!!! No pastry degree required!!!

Happy crafting, my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Popsicle Stick Macaroon Friends Supplies:

* Plain Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {1 per macaroon craft}
* Colored Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {4 per macaroon craft}

* School Glue
* Puffy Paint or Craft Paint w/paint brush
optional – glitter, rhinestones, craft paint instead of colored sticks

Directions:

* First assemble the base of your macaroon friend by gluing your popsicle sticks together to look like a fence {5 next to each other {with a plain jumbo stick in the middle} next to each and the mini popsicle sticks across} Set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat for each friend you want to make.
* If desired – add paint and glitter for custom looks.
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Macaroon craft, have children draw on a simple face with the Tulip puffy paint, as well as some squiggly “filling.”
* Then let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
