If you are still scrambling to think of something quick and easy to make with your young crafter and gift to dear ole mom, then you are in the right place with Glued To My Crafts today! We are sharing this awesome and super easy, low prep popsicle stick mom craft idea for Mother’s Day and I really hope you are inspired to recreate it with your little one this afternoon!
We are taking some of my favorite craft supplies {cardstock & popsicle sticks} and making a quick paper collage that I’m sure mom is going to love to receive! My favorite part of this quick mom themed art project is that you can include a paper handprint cutout in the center of the lettering, to make it really personal.

As always – happy crafting my dear friends! Don’t forget to snap a few pictures of your child’s decorated popsicle stick & paper mom piece and share them with us on our Facebook page to admire from a far! I can’t wait to see what colors they choose and of course – their adorable handprint in the center of it all! #gluedtomycrafts

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!

Make It Your Own:
You can also change out the center of the craft with a cupcake liner flower and picture! Just take a look at our example picture below. All I did was flatten out THREE jumbo cupcake liners, stacked them together and went ahead & cut a fringe around the edge. With my son’s picture in the center, it came together nicely!
