Snow Bunny Popsicle Stick Craft Idea For Kids
There is something so beautiful about a craft idea that allows you to add a bit of your own personality to it. Am I right?
It’s basically what makes “crafting” so much fun. Least in my opinion!
Making things with your hands will enable you to connect with your heart AND make an awesome craft piece to show off in your home. Although this winter craft tutorial is geared towards kids, I highly encourage adults to join in on the fun as well!
On that note, as I hit publish on every tutorial I share on Glued To My Crafts, I really do strive to put the “framework” out there for my readers to follow but at the end of the day, I really hope YOU are inspired to run with my designs & make it your own.
Yes… I want you to follow the original craft tutorial as much as you can but if you decide to change it up and create something even better – that makes my heart even happier!
Take for example today’s popsicle stick snow bunny idea. Although I used white and blue toned colors for mine {for a winter theme} you could easily change it up to reflect you, a different season, particular supplies you have on hand – whatever your crafty heart desires!
If you want a brown bunny – go for it! You want to use the brightest pink colored yarn for the sweater – more power to you! May I suggest you then add a few heart stickers and make it fun for Valentine’s Day? Maybe you will even be inspired to bookmark this very post and bring it back to life for Easter. YAY! I just hope it all started as you scrolled through this very page!
