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!!!
