How to make this cute Dollar Store Craft Stick Elf:
STEP ONE
Gather all supplies. To create the Elf, line up six jumbo craft sticks on your work surface. Using scissors, trim additional jumbo craft sticks to the width of the Elf and attach them with a glue gun and glue sticks. You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
STEP TWO
Using scissors, trim the two discarded pieces of jumbo craft sticks into pointed elf ears. Then attach to the right and left sides of the Elf with a glue gun and glue sticks.
STEP THREE
Paint the bottom two inches of the Elf with green acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry and apply a second coat, if necessary. For this project, leave the Elf face the natural wood tone, or paint in the flesh tone color of your choice.
STEP FOUR
Attach two large wiggle eyes to the Elf with a glue gun and glue sticks. Create cheeks with pink acrylic craft paint and a sponge dabber. Measure and cut a one-inch section of a jumbo craft stick and glue it to the Elf’s face as the nose.
STEP FIVE
Download, print, and cut out the CRAFT STICK ELF PATTERNS. Using a pencil, trace the hat pattern onto green craft foam. Trace the hat and collar trim onto red craft foam with a pencil. Cut out all shapes with scissors and cut inside the traced lines for a clean, finished project.
Attach the red hat trim to the bottom edge of the green hat with a glue gun and glue sticks. Then glue the red collar trim to the top edge of the green paint, and the hat to the top of the Elf’s head.
STEP SIX
Glue one large white pom pom to the top point of the Elf’s hat. Attach small white pom poms to the points of the red collar with a glue gun and glue sticks.
STEP SEVEN
To finish the Craft Stick Elf, draw a large smile from cheek to cheek using a permanent black marker.
