Where are my Harry Potter fans at?! We hope our Popsicle Stick Wizard Hat w/Yarn Beard tutorial inspires YOU today!
Wizard Beard & Hat Craft
Today’s Wizard Hat craft tutorial is something I thought of with the Harry Potter fans in mind {I hope you like it and see the vision like I do!}
I’ve taken the basic framework of our past popsicle stick crafts {just a simple triangle shape} but this time I added some “wizard” embellishments to bring it to life! And as always – it’s super easy for any skill level to recreate with basic supplies!!!
So please be inspired by my latest gnome craft tutorial. All of which, you can find below in the full tutorial from us!
Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your wizard hat creations with us! You can ALWAYS tag us on Instagram for easy sharing! I can’t wait to see what you make with your young crafter today! #gluedtomycrafts

Looking for a fun and extra MAGICAL craft project for kids to tackle today? We are going to show you how to make a make a wizard hat and beard craft within minutes!
Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
- School Glue
- Craft Paint {blue or purple}
- Small Paper Plate
- Foam Paint Brush
- Basic Craft Scissors
- Colored Cardstock Paper
- Skin Tone Cardstock Paper
- White Craft Yarn
- Yellow Star Stickers
Directions:
- First things first – we are going to start off by gluing together the wood hat shape. Glue THREE jumbo popsicle sticks together in a simple triangle formation. You will want ONE assembled popsicle stick shape PER wizard craft.
- Set aside to let it dry a bit.
- When ready – go ahead and paint your craft stick triangle shape.
- Once again, set it aside to let it dry completely.
- While that is drying, cut out a triangle piece from some cardstock paper, that will fit inside the popsicle stick triangle shape you just made.
- You should also at this time cut out a small oval shaped nose {from the skin tone cardstock paper} for the wizard as well.
- Once the popsicle stick shape is dry enough, it’s time for the yarn beard! Grab the white yarn and scissors.
- Cut SEVERAL long strips of yarn, that will be the “beard” of the craft. This step could vary on how thick you want the beard to be. I would say 20-30 long pieces is a good amount.
- Next go ahead and TIE ALL the pieces of white yarn strands to ONE side of your popsicle stick triangle shape, in a line. You want them to be facing OUTWARD {like a beard} from the triangle shape. Repeat/add as much yarn as you like, until you have the look you like.
- If need be – trim down the secured down yarn with your scissors.
- Finally – grab your cardstock paper pieces from earlier and the school glue.
- Flip your popsicle stick piece over {so the painted side is facing download} and glue the triangle shape in place.
- Now flip over the piece again and glue down the oval cutout, right on top of the yarn beard. You want it to look like his nose.
- The last step is to add the star stickers on the hat design, to create the “wizard” look.
- Add other embellishments you see fit like glitter, rhinestones etc.
- Set it all aside to let it dry completely before displaying your wizard friend proudly for all to see!
