What can I make out of Popsicle Sticks?

Oh! There are numerous fun and colorful options:

  1. Paint a popsicle stick with acrylic paint and let dry.
  2. Use the popsicle sticks to create geometric shapes or other patterns.
  3. Affix your painted popsicle sticks onto a piece of paper to create a mosaic art project.
  4. Create an arts and crafts station for kids by attaching several pieces of construction paper on top of each other, then using popsicle sticks as drawing utensils for them when they come over.
  5. Cut out circles from construction paper, glue them onto the bottom half of a popsicle stick, then use it as a pencil holder so that you can always find one nearby.
  6. Add some string lights around your room or outdoor space to make it more inviting at night time.
  7. Make your chalkboard by painting the backside of two pieces of wood together with black paint (one should be shorter than the other), then attach magnets to either side so that you can conveniently hang it up anywhere inside or outside your home.

 

What is the best glue for Popsicle sticks?

Different glues have different properties.

Hot glue is not the best choice for Popsicle sticks because it creates a strong bond that can’t be undone without damaging the popsicle stick.

Superglue is another option, but it requires precision to apply and should be used on one side of the popsicle stick only.

The best glue for Popsicle sticks is epoxy or wood glue, which will create an even bond with no mess and easily come apart when desired.

Epoxy also has many other uses around your home such as fixing broken items or creating arts and crafts projects with kids.

Wood glue can also be applied to furniture – just add some water before applying it to ensure it doesn’t dry out too quickly.
