Snowy Mountain Craft Made From Popsicle Sticks
Capture all the joys of the season with today’s latest idea from us! Snow covered mountains are not only great to represent the holiday season but honestly ALL year long.
Although today’s woodland themed craft tutorial was inspired by some adorable felt reindeer stickers I recently picked up at Michaels, I could see this craft being done beyond the cold winter months! I’m sure there are even some great children’s books out there to pair with today’s idea.
Our craft stick snowy mountain project is just one those crafts that your little one will be happy to recreate and display in their home proudly! You could prop it up on a shelf or add some ribbon to the back for easy hanging.
So without further ado – hop on board for a great afternoon of crafting with your child! Simply grab some jumbo popsicle sticks, sheets of cardstock and some glue to recreate your own popsicle stick snowy mountain creation. You can find ALL the details in the full tutorial below! The real attention-getter is the reindeer stickers so don’t forget those as well!
Happy crafting, my dear friends and please don’t forget to share pictures of your mountains with us on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
