First things first - gluing the popsicle sticks together. Grab NINE jumbo popsicle sticks and your school glue.
Glue them together to look like a fence. Seven next to each other and two across.
Repeat the above steps for each love monster you want to make today.
Set aside the popsicle stick shape to allow it to dry a bit.
When ready - decide what color {or colors} you want your Halloween monster craft to be.
Squirt that shade of craft paint on your paper plate.
Use the foam paint brush to paint one side of your popsicle stick square shape completely.
Again, set it aside to allow it to dry a bit.
Now you are ready for the embellishments. Grab all your cardstock paper sheets and scissors.
Cut out eyes, ears, wacky hair, antennas and other facial features from the cardstock. (The funnier the monster, the better!)
To finish off your DIY #cutenotscary monster craft, glue your paper pieces in place on the front of the painted craft stick base, as well as any of the buttons, glitter or any other embellishments you see fit.
Then let it all dry completely before displaying and/or playing with proudly!!!
