Popsicle Stick Sleigh Ornament
This sleigh ornament is a super easy and a fun Christmas craft idea that kids of all ages will love to make. It’s also a great keepsake for years to come!
Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
- Hot Glue Gun
- 4×6″ Printed Picture
- Basic Craft Scissors
- Ribbon or Twine
- 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!
