7 Easy Popsicle Stick Crafts

this idea

Back this week with more easy crafts that you can do while hanging out at home! This week I have a mix of crafts for kids and adults! Anddd we’re using popsicle sticks for all of our crafts this week! I thought it was a good option because a lot of people have them in their crafting supplies already and, if not, they’re super cheap and easy to get!

As with last week’s crafts, I have a video below walking you through all the steps and then below that there’s a quick rundown of supplies/instructions for each project.
