Popsicle Stick Skunk – Kid Craft Idea That Does NOT Stink!
It’s amazing how versatile a basic, three sided triangle, made from jumbo popsicle sticks, can be.
I’ve shared a fox, unicorn and even a hibernating bear craft that all started from a basic triangle design in my head. I can proudly say Glued To My Crafts has you covered when it comes to triangle shaped crafts for kids!
Anyways – today’s latest craft stick tutorial is just another triangle shaped idea that I turned into some simple skunk heads {with a slight Valentine’s Day theme!} Fortunately for you, these cuties do not STINK at all! I could easily see this idea being used in a classroom for a book theme or even a lesson plan. When I originally thought of this idea, I was thinking of even turning them into Valentines by having children write “you are stinkin’ adorable” on the back with a Sharpie marker.
So without further ado – you can find all the details you need to know below, to make some extra cute & friendly skunk friends made from craft sticks! Then easily add some ribbon to the back of these popsicle stick skunks so you can hang them in your home or add some magnets to display them proudly on the fridge. Whatever you do – I sure hope we inspire you with out quick tutorial today!
Happy crafting my dear friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your skunk creations with us on our Facebook page to see!!! #gluedtomycrafts
