Transform ordinary “curling ribbon present toppers” that are intended for adding on top of presents, into Popsicle Stick Curly Sue Puppets instead!
I was recently inspired by a trip to my local Dollar Tree store and I hope with our quick and easy tutorial, we continue the crafty spark with you today! #gluedtomycrafts
Popsicle Stick & Curling Ribbon Puppets
Come one, come all! Today’s curly hair inspired DIY idea is super fun and extra girly for those who love to make pretend play pieces! Our quick-to-make design, partnered w/creative “curling ribbon” hair, has results that are stylish, fun and perfect for ALL year long making & playing! Plus they make a fun sound when you “shake them!”
As a crafter who likes to stay on a budget and not go “crazy” with elaborate materials, I can safely say, this a great craft that won’t break the piggy bank! In fact, you might even have some leftover curly ribbon bows laying around from a present you either received or recently gifted. On that note, this idea might even be free since it’s a great upcycle idea!
So what are you waiting for?! Let’s create some eye-catching Curly Sue Puppet Friends together! Find all the details below!
