Today’s Cupcake Liner and Popsicle Stick Frankenstein Ballerinas tutorial is a play on our Valentine’s Day post from a few years back. With just a few changes of colors and theme, we made a MONSTER of a post come to life! Keep scrolling to find the steps! #gluedtomycrafts

It’s not too spooky or cute-sty. It’s JUST right {in my opinion anyways!} Like I mentioned above, all I did was change up the colors to reflect a more “frankenstein” feel. Still just as easy and inexpensive as the precious version but more appropriate for those “spooktacular” events.

Like seriously – couldn’t you see this idea being done at a Halloween party?! It’s also a clever way to use up those leftover cupcake liners if you are baking for “said” event.

So let’s grab our supplies and “dance” into Halloween with these adorable & completely customizable ballerinas! Then display as is OR use them in some creative imaginative play. Whatever you do – have fun with it! Don’t forget to share pictures as well!!!

Happy crafting, my friends!!!

Frankenstein Ballerina Craft Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {one per craft}
* Green Pipe Cleaners {one per craft}
* Cupcake Liners {one per craft}
* School Glue
* Thin Tip Black Sharpie Markers
* Halloween Colors of Paint Pens, Markers or Craft Paint w/Brushes
* Black Cardstock
optional – rhinestones, glitter, glitter glue

Directions:

* First have children COLOR their jumbo popsicle stick completely green. This will give the look of Frankenstein. Set aside.
* Next up – flatten/fold their cupcake liners in half and glue them to the center of their popsicle stick. This is the ballerina’s tutu. Repeat for each ballerina.
* Once the cupcake liners are down, grab your paint pens and draw on a face, hair and of course – ballet slippers onto the popsicle stick. Glue on a “circular” paper bunch to finish the ballerina’s glamorous look. Don’t forget to draw on some “stitches” as well!
* To finish, have children wrap/bend a single green pipe cleaner a few times around the center of the popsicle sticks to resemble arms. At this point children can also add other embellishments {like scrapbook stickers, glitter, rhinestones} that they see fit to really make it their own. Then display proudly!
