Directions:
- First grab your sheet of cardstock paper, along with the EIGHT craft sticks and your glue.
- Turn your paper landscape on your working surface.
- Separate the popsicle sticks into two piles of FOUR.
- Lay out the sticks in two different/separate “M” shapes on the paper, so you get an idea of where to glue them down. You want to make sure you have enough space in the center of the paper for your cupcake liner flower to go.
- Go ahead and glue the TWO “M” shapes down, one on each side of the paper.
- Now grab your second sheet of cardstock paper.
- Trace your child’s hand in the center.
- Next take your scissors and cut out the handprint design.
- Now glue it down in the center of the popsicle stick “M’s” on the paper.
- Finally – the last step! Add any other embellishments you see fit before you allow it to dry completely.
- And that’s it! Display and/or gift away the “POPSICLE STICK MOM” piece proudly!
Imagine the delight on your mom’s face when she receives a beautifully crafted, thoughtful gift that shows her just how much you care!
