How to Change the Look of Popsicle Sticks

Right out of the package (or popsicle), craft sticks can seem like a craft supply for your kids. This means that you are probably going to want to change the color, pattern or shape of them before you start your craft.

Here are some techniques for transforming plain popsicle sticks into personalized and eye-catching supplies for your projects:

  • Bend: Add the sticks to boiling water until they become bendable. Secure the stick around or inside a glass to get a curved shape.
  • Paint: Use acrylic paint to give them a vibrant and customized look.
  • Stain: Apply wood stain for a more natural and rustic appearance.
  • Dye: Soak the sticks in a mixture of water and fabric dye, food coloring, or even tea!
  • Washi tape: Wrap the craft sticks with colorful, patterned washi tape for a transformation that is also removable.
  • Decoupage: Use Mod Podge to attach scrapbook paper or fabric to your sticks.
  • Burn: A wood burning tool can be used to etch designs or patterns onto the surface of popsicle sticks.
  • Markers: Use markers to draw or color on the sticks.
  • Glitter: Apply a layer of Mod Podge and sprinkle glitter over them for a sparkling effect.

Remember to let any paint, glue, or other materials dry thoroughly before using the popsicle sticks in your crafts.
