If you are looking for a fun and creative craft, look no further! After spending an evening at a "Paint Night" party with my cousins and aunt, I was still in the mood to paint. :)
When I realized we needed to come up with a craft to do at work the next day, my eye landed on an ice cream bucket filled with these craft sticks. I remembered seeing popsicle stick puzzles all over pinterest, so we decided to go with it! Rather than pasting a photo over the sticks we decided to pull out our selection of acrylic paints instead.
1. First we arranged the amount of sticks we wanted to use snugly together, then carefully taped them with some masking tape.
2. Then we flipped them over to have the clean slate for our "art."
3. Next, we painted them!
4. They dried pretty quickly so we separated them once we were done painting so that they wouldn't be stuck together when fully dried.
5. When the puzzle is completely dry, you mix up the sticks and put it together!
Here are the puzzles we made (& named!), from left to right:
Alaskan White Out
Summer Breeze
Autumn Bliss
Japanese Sunset
Four Seasons
Japanese Cherry Blossom
Love Birds
Apple Orchard
***To make it fun, we took a picture of each puzzle then printed a color copy of it. We stored each puzzle with the picture so that we would know what we were trying to achieve when playing with these puzzles! So much fun! :)
