Driving by with another unforgettable Christmas art project idea that is a first-seen-here! Come see how I made this unique Popsicle Stick Christmas Tree Wagon craft, so you can recreate it with your child today!

It’s the perfect DIY for the season, that doubles as a keepsake ornament for the tree!

Popsicle Stick Christmas Tree Wagon – Kid Craft

Add effortless festive flair to your holiday craft plans with this Christmas tree wagon decoration idea! All it requires is some wooden craft sticks, colored cardstock and some school glue! From there – all it takes is some tracing, cutting and gluing to complete!

My absolute favorite part of this DIY is the “handprint Christmas tree” in the back of the wagon, so I can keep it as a keepsake for years to come. I have plans to hot glue some string to the back of ours, so I can hang it up year after year, on the tree!

So my dear friends – you can find all the details below, as well as a few suggestions and tips! Of course this tutorial can be followed to a “T” but I highly encourage you to give your child the full capability to give their Christmas wagon their own crafty spin!

Happy crafting, my friends! I can’t wait to see pictures of your popsicle stick and paper Christmas tree wagons on our Facebook page, for us to admire! #gluedtomycrafts

* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Christmas Tree Wagon, glue all the cardstock pieces in place, as as well as securing the handprint tree to the back of the wagon.
* Follow that up with the letter stickers and spell out “fresh cut trees” on the front.

Make it your own today:

Remember, you can decorate the paper handprint tree cutout to give it more of a holiday feel, as well! Add a paper star on top and draw on ornaments with markers, for a one-of-a-kind look!

You can also paint your popsicle stick shape {when it’s dry enough and secure} before you add all the paper embellishments to finish the craft. A nice shade of brown or gray craft paint would look nice!

To turn it into an ornament – simple hot glue some ribbon to the back of the handprint Christmas tree piece.

Don’t have letter stickers to spell “fresh cut trees” on the craft? Use paint or Sharpie markers to write on the words instead!
