This summer, channel your child’s love for baseball and crafting into a fun popsicle stick project that’s easy, budget-friendly, and bursting with creativity!
Combining the thrill of America’s favorite pastime with the simplicity of a popsicle stick craft, it’s an activity that both kids and parents will enjoy. Here’s how to make your very own popsicle stick baseball craft this summer!
Craft Supplies:
Before we step into the creation process, gather the following materials. Most of these can be found at craft stores, and you likely already have some at home:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 9 per craft
- School Glue
- White Craft Paint
- Paint Brush
- Red Puffy Paint
Directions:
With these materials ready, it’s time to craft baseball magic.
- Start by gluing your popsicle sticks together to form a fence-like structure. Lay seven sticks side by side, then position two more sticks across them in the opposite direction to create a sturdy pineapple-shaped base.
- Set your finished shape aside and allow the glue to dry completely.
- Once the glue is fully set, it’s time to paint.
- Squeeze a small amount of white craft paint onto the center of your wooden shape. Use a paintbrush to evenly coat the entire surface in white.
- Next, take red puffy paint and carefully draw two curved lines, mimicking the stitching on a baseball.
- Let the paint dry completely before handling your artwork.
- Once dry, proudly display your creative, baseball-inspired piece for everyone to admire!
