Directions:

  • First things first – get the glue gun hot and ready.
  • Assemble the base of your holiday dog by gluing THREE jumbo popsicle sticks and TWO mini popsicle sticks together to look like a fence door {3 next to each other and the mini popsicle sticks across to secure in place.}
  • Allow it to dry completely. Repeat for each dog friend you want to make today. The free printable will allow you to make FOUR dogs at once.
  • When the popsicle stick shape is dry enough to touch, grab your craft paint, paint brush and small paper plate.
  • Squirt some craft paint on the paper plate.
  • Paint the popsicle stick shape you just made, completely brown.
  • Set it aside, again, to allow it dry completely.
  • Now grab your brown cardstock, printed dog head printable, your Sharpie marker and scissors.
  • Out of the brown cardstock, cut out two small, half circle paws for your dog.
  • Use the black Sharpie marker to give the paws some dimension with some drawn on “claws.”
  • Set those aside.
  • Out of the dog printable, pick a head and cut it out.
  • Go ahead and secure your paper pieces, in their designated spot, to your painted popsicle stick shape with the glue gun.
  • Now grab your craft yarn and the glue gun again.
  • Take one end of your yarn and hot glue it to the back of your popsicle stick dog body shape.
  • Start wrapping the yarn SEVERAL times around the popsicle stick base, until you have the look you like.
  • When ready, cut the yarn and use the hot glue gun again, to secure the loose end to the back of the popsicle stick base.
  • Add any other embellishments you see fit. Maybe some small rhinestone details or a little dab of glitter glue!
  • Then let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
  • Don’t forget to snap a few pictures of your finished popsicle stick dogs in sweaters creations to share with us! #gluedtomycrafts

Customize It: although we are offering a free printable for our readers to use to recreate this Saint Bernard craft idea, don’t feel limited if you don’t have access to a printer. You can always free-style your dog head out of colored cardstock or pull out your Cricut maker!
