Popsicle Stick Peppermint Candy Snowflake Ornament

The holiday season is here, and joy is in the air (along with the smell of peppermint and pine)!

If you’re looking for a fun, festive, and holiday simple craft to do with your kids, this unique Popsicle Stick Peppermint Candy Snowflake Ornament tutorial is just what you need.

It’s an engaging activity that sparks creativity, brings the family together, and leaves you with gorgeous ornaments to hang on your tree or gift to loved ones!

Craft Supplies:

Before you gather the kids around the craft table, make sure you have all the supplies ready. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {4-8 per ornament}
  • Red Craft Paint
  • White Craft Paint
  • Paint Brushes
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Low-Temp Hot Glue Gun
  • Peppermint Candy Printable – on our landing page
  • Crayons, Markers or Coloring Pencils
  • Scissors
  • Small Red Craft Rhinestones
  • Twine/Ribbon

Pro tip: Lay down newspaper or an old tablecloth to keep cleanup easy and protect your surfaces from paint and glue spills.

Directions:

Now that you have everything ready, it’s time to start crafting! Follow these simple steps:

  • First things first – paint your jumbo popsicle sticks. For this step you can do four to eight craft sticks per ornament. For my example image, I did EIGHT popsicle sticks for one design. With that being said, I painted four of them white and the remaining four completely red to create an equal amount. This is where you get the “peppermint candy” look.
  • Next up – get your glue gun hot and ready.
  • Start by arranging your popsicle sticks into a snowflake shape. Lay one stick horizontally, then position another craft stick on top of it, to form an “X” shape. Secure the sticks together at the center with a small dab of glue. Repeat until you have ALL the sticks in place. Make sure everything is aligned before it dries.
  • Now grab your printout. Color in/cut out ONE of candy designs.
  • Hot glue it to the center of your assembled popsicle stick shape.
  • To finish off the Peppermint Candy Snowflake Ornament – grab your small red craft rhinestones and hot glue ONE on each “tip” of the snowflake.
  • Once done, set it all aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
  • For displaying – glue some string to the back for easy hanging on the tree or adding to gift packages!
  • Don’t forget to share pictures with us of your one-of-a-mind DIY red & white snowflake ornaments on your various social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts

Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
