- Popsicle sticks (cut in half with an Exacto knife)
- Sandpaper
- Green or red felt
- Flesh-tone acrylic paint
- Light-colored paper
- Scrap wool
- Permanent marker
- Scalloped scissors
- Hot glue and glue gun
- Pin backings
- Start by using your Exacto knife to cut a Popsicle stick in half. Then, lightly sand the cut end smooth and paint both sides with flesh-tone paint. Set aside to dry for at least 1 hour.
- Cut 1-inch squares from the felt. Take the squares and cut halfway down in strips to create a puff of hat. Tie each piece in the middle with a scrap of wool to shape like a hat.
- Using scalloped scissors, cut small song sheets for each Caroler out of 20lb or higher paper and fold in half.
- Glue the felt hat to the top of each painted Popsicle stick and tie a few strands of wool around to make a scarf. Carefully draw in faces using a circle for their open mouth on each Caroler.
- Take a dab of hot glue and place it on the lower middle of the stick, then set the paper songbook in place.
- Finish off the Caroler by gluing a pin backing to the back. Note: White tacky glue is better for attaching backings.
These make a cute decoration to pin to any winter coat!
