Popsicle sticks are super cheap. You can get a huge bag of 500 of them with a coupon at a craft store. That huge bag will also last a really long time. This past Christmas, our co-op had a homemade ornament exchange for the kids. A few days before our party I was scrambling around trying to figure out what they could make. That’s when I came across my humongous bag of popsicle sticks! One quick search on Pinterest brought up tons of the cutest ideas! There are popsicle sticks and craft sticks which are thicker. There are so many different things you can do with both!
Here are 20 of our favorite popsicle craft sticks that we found:
Popsicle Stick Olaf from This Girls Life – these are the ornaments my girls decided to make for their ornament exchange. They turned out exactly like the picture and were a hit! 
Popsicle Stick Monsters from I Heart Arts and Crafts
Popsicle Stick Flowers Craft from Glued to My Crafts – these are so sweet. Love the little pom pom in the middle.
Rudolph Craft from Craftionary (you can also make this a reindeer if you eliminate the red nose)
Easy Craft Stick Bookmarks for Kids from Mom 2 Posh Lil Divas – this is really easy and would make great use of markers and/or stickers.
Easy Popsicle Stick Puzzles from Kids Activities Blog – this is another cute and very simple idea.
Popsicle Stick American Flag Craft from Kids Activities Blog – this is a great 4th of July Craft and it would be good to do with an American Heritage Girls Troop as well!
