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:
- 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.
