These creepy-cute eyeballs can be used in a variety of ways. Hang them around your home, incorporate them into a Halloween wreath, or use them as part of a larger spooky display. The possibilities are endless, making this craft a versatile addition to your Halloween festivities.

Craft Supplies:

Before you start, gather all the materials you’ll need. Here’s a handy list to get you started:

  • Mini Popsicle Sticks
  • School Glue
  • White Craft Paint
  • Foam Paint Brush
  • Paper Plate
  • Loose White Craft Glitter
  • Red Elmer’s Glitter Glue
  • Colored Cardstock Paper
  • Paper Craft Scissors
  • Large Craft Buttons

Having everything ready beforehand will make the crafting process smoother and more enjoyable. It’s also a good idea to lay down some newspaper or a crafting mat to protect your work surface. Once you have all your materials, you’re ready to get crafting!

Directions:

  • Start by creating the base for your popsicle stick eyeball. Glue together EIGHT mini popsicle sticks: lay six sticks side by side, then glue two across the back to secure them, forming a “fence” shape.
  • Let the glue dry completely before moving to the next step. Repeat this process for each eyeball you plan to make.
  • Once dry, grab your white craft paint, a paper plate, and a paintbrush. Squeeze some paint onto the plate and coat your popsicle stick base entirely in white.
  • While the paint is still wet, sprinkle white craft glitter on top to add sparkle. Shake off any excess glitter into the trash.
  • Next, use red glitter glue to draw small squiggly “veins” over the painted surface to give it that eerie eyeball look.
  • On cardstock paper, cut out a small circle to serve as the pupil of the eye. Place this circle onto the red glitter glue while it’s still wet.
  • To finish, glue a large craft button in the center of the pupil to complete the look of your eyeball.
  • Set your creation aside to dry completely before displaying it proudly.
  • For added functionality, you can hot glue a magnet or a string to the back for easy hanging or displaying.

Your finished popsicle stick eyeball craft can be a standalone decoration or part of a larger Halloween setup. Consider pairing them with other DIY projects like painted pumpkins, spooky lanterns, or eerie garlands. The cohesive look will make your home feel fully decked out for the holiday!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
