Owl On Craft Stick Branch Art Project
You guys! Look at how cute my new craft stick owl friends are! I think I have “fallen” in love with them!
Seriously – sometimes I amaze myself with what I come up with these days.
It all started with a vision and the next thing I knew, some of my favorite craft materials were mashed together and this is what I came up with.
There’s no right or wrong way to do this popsicle stick owl on branch craft idea. In fact, I highly encourage you to change up the colors and/or theme if you like. You could add small snowflake cutouts for a winter day or paper hearts for a little lovestruck theme. The possibilities are endless and I hope you take that as your “challenge” to make it happen today with your child!

Unleash your inner artist and make your own cute craft stick owl on a branch art project!
Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {one per branch}
- Mini Popsicle Sticks {five per owl}
- Craft Paint
- Small Paint Brushes
- Paper Plate
- School Glue
- Paper Craft Scissors
- Cardstock Paper
- Small Wiggle Eyes
Directions:
- First things first – if you are going to paint your popsicle sticks, do that first.
- Squirt your craft paint on your paper plate and paint your craft sticks however you like. I left my jumbo stick the natural color but I painted my minis in a burnt orange color.
- When done, set them aside to allow them to dry completely.
- Next up – cutting out your paper embellishments from the cardstock.
- Start off with the leaves and then the branches.
- Finish off with the wings of the owl and of course, a triangle nose, ears, feet etc. Use our pictures for an example.
- Finally the last step – assembling it all. Grab all your popsicle sticks, cardstock paper pieces, the wiggle eyes and school glue.
- First glue the five MINI painted popsicle sticks, in a row like a square, onto the jumbo popsicle stick. This will be the body of the owl and if you can envision it at this point, the jumbo stick is the tree branch.
- Follow that step up by gluing on all his paper body features so he can start to come to life.
- Don’t forget his eyes!
- Now the last gluing step – the leaves and little stick tree branches. Glue those in the empty spaces on the jumbo popsicle stick.
- Add any other embellishments you see fit.
- Set it aside to let it dry completely before you display it proudly.
- Don’t forget to snap those pictures and share them with us! #gluedtomycrafts
