Directions:
Here’s how you can create your very own Christmas mail truck, step by step. Follow along and don’t forget to add your personalized twist.
- Start by gathering EIGHT jumbo popsicle sticks and some school glue.
- Lay four popsicle sticks side by side on a flat surface, resembling a fence.
- Take the remaining four sticks and glue them horizontally across the first four, forming a square frame (refer to our pictures for guidance).
- Once the sticks are securely glued together, set the frame aside to dry completely. Repeat this step for each mail truck you’d like to make.
- While the popsicle stick frames are drying, grab your colored cardstock and scissors.
- From the gray cardstock, cut a small rectangle for the window.
- From the black cardstock, cut out TWO small circles to serve as wheels.
- From the yellow cardstock, cut a small half-circle for the truck’s headlight.
- 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!).
- Once assembled, set everything aside to dry completely.
- Display your adorable mail truck creation or use it for imaginative play!
- Don’t forget to capture some photos of your finished craft and share them with us on social media using #gluedtomycrafts. We’d love to see your creativity in action!
