Eyeball Kids Craft Idea For Halloween
Hi my dear crafty and bone-chilling friends! “Eye” see you “eyeing” our latest kids craft tutorial! Come on in… we won’t bite!
See what I did there?! Sometimes I think I’m punny…
Anyways, I won’t “blind” you with the boring details but I’m so glad you landed on today’s popsicle stick eyeball craft tutorial. Although we are just now heading into September, now is the perfect time to start thinking of those Halloween craft tutorials you want to recreate this upcoming season. I really do hope you consider adding this eyeball themed kids craft to your to-do list!
Inspired by my Paper Plate Eyeball tutorial from a few years back, recently I came up with a craft stick version that is just as easy to make. And although it “may” be a little too gory for some…. we still had fun putting it together.
With Halloween creeping up fast, I hope this craft stick eyeball post inspires YOU to get crafty with your kids. You can easily add magnets to the back of each eyeball you make, for displaying on the fridge or turn them into “spooky” gift tags or ornaments with some string attached.
Well enough chit chat from me, find the full tutorial below! Then grab those craft supplies and get to work! {I’m watching YOU so don’t let me down!} Happy crafting my spooky friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your custom made “eyeballs” for us to SEE! You can find us on Facebook or use our special branded hashtag #gluedtomycrafts for us to see!

SNACK IDEA TO PAIR WITH YOUR CRAFT —> Monster Eyeball Celery Sticks
Directions:
- First things first – making the popsicle stick base for your eyeball. Go ahead and glue your EIGHT mini popsicle sticks together like a fence. You will lay six next to each other and two across.
- Allow your craft sticks to dry completely. Repeat for each eyeball you want to make today.
- When they are dry enough – grab your white craft paint, paper plate and paint brush.
- Squirt some craft paint on the paper plate and paint your popsicle stick shape completely white.
- While the paint is still wet, sprinkle some white craft glitter on top for extra sparkle.
- Shake off excess glitter into the trash can.
- Now take your red glitter glue and draw some small squiggles on top of the painted popsicle stick shape.
- Next grab your cardstock paper and scissors.
- Cut out a small circle for the “pupil” of the eye.
- Lay the circle cut out you just made, on top of the red glitter glue.
- Finally – take your large craft button and put it in the center of the craft to complete the eye.
- Set it all aside to let it dry completely before displaying it proudly.
- If desired – hot glue magnets or string to the back for displaying.
