First things first - take ONE popsicle stick and decorate it to for the hair, face, shoes and leotard in the center.
Repeat for each piece they want to make today.
Now you are ready for the 3-dimensional ballerina's tutu. Take one mini cupcake liner and fold it in half to make a tutu. Add some glue to the middle and then secure it to the center of the decorated popsicle stick.
To finish your Autumn Ballerinas, glue TWO decorate leaves to the back of the decorated piece, for the fairy wings, to complete the look.
