Sleigh Ornament Craft Supplies:

Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – nude or painted {four per sleigh ornament craft}
Hot Glue Gun
4×6″ Printed Picture
Basic Craft Scissors
Ribbon or Twine
optional materials – craft paint, small stickers/embellishments

Directions:

First things first – if you like, go ahead and paint your FOUR jumbo popsicle sticks ANY color you like. We just happened to use pre-dyed red popsicle sticks for ours. Feel free to use whatever you like or keep them plain!
Next up – get the glue gun hot and ready!
Glue your FOUR jumbo popsicle sticks together to look like a sleigh. Three next to each other and then one across.
Allow it to dry completely.
Next up – the picture. You will want to take {and print out} a picture of your child laying on the floor, out flat on their belly, with their arms/hands out like a superhero. See our picture above for example.
Take your scissors and trim out your child from the printed picture.
Adhere the picture to the center of the popsicle stick shape, so it looks like they are on the sleigh.
Grab your ribbon and cut off a small piece.
Hot glue it to the back of the popsicle stick shape so it’s easy to hang the ornament on the tree.
Add any other embellishments you see fit.
Then allow it to dry completely before you display it proudly for ALL to see!
