Adorable Popsicle Stick Sheep Craft For Kids To Recreate Today!
Today’s lovely tutorial is another first-seen-here for us and I’m so excited to get it published on Glued To My Crafts right now.
If this unique idea is something you want to recreate today with your child, all our craft stick sheep tutorial requires is a few jumbo popsicle sticks, small wooden clothespins, cardstock and a little bit of craft paint. That’s it! Very basic supplies that I’m sure {if you have a long time follower of mine} you already have on hand right now. I say that is a major WIN WIN right now!
When I was doodling out this idea on my I-pad last night, I just KNEW it was going to be something I was going to fall in love with. I hope you enjoy it {as well as making it} with your child, as much as I had coming up with it!
You can find ALL the details you need to know, in the full tutorial below. I hope you are inspired to recreate it your little one today!
As always – happy crafting, my dear friends. Stay safe and please don’t forget to snap a few pictures of your finished popsicle stick baby lamb to share with us on our Facebook page. It seriously would make my day {more than ever!} to hear from you and see those adorable sheep in action! #gluedtomycrafts
