First get the glue gun hot and ready {adult supervision please!}

Assemble the base of your mad scientist friend by gluing THREE jumbo popsicle sticks and TWO mini popsicle sticks together to look like a fence {3 next to each other and the mini popsicle sticks across}

Set aside to let it dry completely.

Now grab your sheets of cardstock paper and scissors.

Cut out a rectangular "lab coat" with a small triangle piece taken out, out of the gray cardstock.

Use the black Sharpie marker to draw on some small buttons and a pocket embellishment on the paper, to give it some dimension.

Set it aside.

Out of the white cardstock, cut out some large, spiky hair for the scientist.

Use the black Sharpie marker to draw a lightning bolt in the center of it.

Once you have all the paper pieces done, grab them all, along with the school glue and popsicle stick shape from the first step.

Go ahead and glue the two paper pieces you just made, to the popsicle stick shape. The hair goes on the top, while the lab coat on the bottom. Be sure to leave plenty of room in the center of the popsicle stick shape, for his face.

Now grab your eyeball stickers and again, the Sharpie marker.

Adhere the eyes in the center of the popsicle stick shape and draw on a silly face, directly on the wood, with the marker.

Finally - the last step. To finish off the Popsicle Stick Mad Scientist Friend craft, grab your green pipe cleaner and a piece of washi tape {or the glue gun.}

Bend the pipe cleaner a bit, with your hands, to look like crazy arms.

Secure the pipe cleaner to the back of the popsicle stick shape.

And that's it! Add anything else you see fit and display it proudly for all to see!
