Get ready to transform some craft sticks into adorable gingerbread stick ornaments! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Jumbo craft sticks
- Popsicle sticks
- Wood glue
- Brown, white, black, and red paint pencils
- A string to hang the ornament
- An Exacto knife
- Carefully cut a jumbo craft stick and two Popsicle sticks in half with the Exacto knife.
- Give the sticks a yummy, stained look by painting them with a watered-down wash of brown paint. Allow them to dry completely.
- Use the wood glue to attach the Popsicle sticks onto the jumbo craft stick to create arms and legs.
- Use a white paint pencil to add some frosting-like details to your gingerbread stick.
- Bring your gingerbread stick to life with two black-painted dots for eyes and a cute, curly mouth.
- Add a little cherry flower with a red paint pencil, and dot the center with black for an extra touch of festivity.
- Attach a string to the back of the gingerbread stick ornament so it can be hung on the tree.
- Your gingerbread stick ornaments are now ready to add some holiday cheer to your decorations!
