Directions:

First get the glue gun hot and ready!
Assemble the base of your baker friend by gluing THREE jumbo popsicle sticks and TWO mini popsicle sticks together to look like a fence {3 next to each other and the mini popsicle sticks across}
Set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat for each baker friend you want to make today.
When dry enough, go ahead and paint your newly made popsicle stick shape {the baker’s body} completely white. Simply squirt some white paint on a paper plate and use a small paint brush.
Go ahead and also paint your TWO mini clothespins as well, to make the hands for the baker.
Set all the painted pieces aside.
Now grab all your paper pieces and craft scissors.
Out of the skin-tone colored paper, cut out a basic circle that will be the baker’s’s head.
Go ahead and take the Sharpie markers & draw on a simple face, as well some hair.
At this point in time, you should also glue on the wiggle eyes so it can see.
With the remaining sheets of colored cardstock paper, cut out a hat, some hair, a cupcake shape and some black work boots for your baker friend.
When done with all the cutting, it’s time for the hot glue gun again!
Go ahead and glue ALL the paper pieces {except the cupcake shape!} to the painted popsicle stick shape from earlier.
This next step is CRUCIAL. Take your TWO painted mini clothespins and pinch them around the paper cupcake shape to look like it’s hands/arms are holding it.
Go ahead and hot glue the combined piece you just made, to the center of the painted popsicle stick shape.
To finish off the Popsicle Stick Cupcake Holding Baker craft, add any other embellishments you see fit. Maybe some sparkle or some other small stickers!
Then let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
