Join us in brewing up this bewitching craft using craft sticks, paint, VELCRO® Brand Sticky Back Dots, and more.
Step 1: First and foremost, you’ll want to paint three craft sticks black.
Step 2: Once the paint is dry, take one of the craft sticks and paint a small buckle.
Step 3: Next, using a black sheet of construction paper, cut out a triangle. This is going to be the center of the hat. PRO TIP: get funky with your witch’s hat and paint any sort of pattern you like!
Step 4: You’re almost done! Using your VELCRO® Brand Sticky Back Dots, stick each end of your craft sticks to the construction paper you’ve designed, so they form a triangle. Make sure the popsicle stick with the buckle is at the bottom of your triangle.

Frankenstein
It’s alive! Get ready to create your very own Frankenstein with this exciting popsicle stick craft. This classic monster will make a fantastic addition to your Halloween fun-time crafts. Let’s bring this Frankenstein craft to life in a fun and creative way – get your supplies and let’s go!
Step 1: Paint five craft sticks (sticks A-E) a base green color.
Step 2: Alright, let’s give our Frankenstein some bones to stand on. You’ll need a total of 7 craft sticks here – sticks A to E will form the face, and sticks F & G will act as the backbone.
Grab 10 VELCRO® Brand Sticky Back Dots – these are going to help keep everything together. You can go with either the hook or loop side of the VELCRO® Brand Sticky Back Dots.
Stick 5 of these adhesive dots onto each of the craft sticks, F & G.
Now, lay sticks F and G horizontally on the back of sticks A-E. This is where the magic happens, giving our Frankenstein a strong structure.
Just make sure sticks A-E are lined up in a row, side by side, to get the right shape.
Step 3: Finally comes the fun part, the decorating! Take some black paint and add his hair and stitches. Now just add your googly eyes and your new creation is ALIVE!
These Halloween popsicle stick crafts are perfect for kids to get creative and bring some spookiness into your home’s Halloween decor. So, gather your materials and let the Halloween crafting begin!
