- Keep all the paper pieces aside for later assembly.
- Next, grab your dried popsicle stick frame, a paper plate, paintbrushes, and craft paint.
- Start by painting the entire frame white using your white craft paint.
- Once the base coat is dry, use red and blue paint to add horizontal lines on the frame, mimicking the design of a postal truck.To complete your glue the cardstock pieces (window, wheels, and headlight) onto the painted frame. Add extra embellishments, such as a wreath or Santa stickers, to make it festive (we found ours at Michaels!).
