DIY Popsicle Stixs
It doesn’t have to be summer in order to enjoy ice cream or fruity popsicles, especially the paper kind. Today we are sharing a fun project using a variety of Hygloss Papers and Pop stixs to make our own splice of summer. If we can’t enjoy the summer weather now, then we are bringing it in doors with these cute DIY Popsicle Stixs. Inspired by sticker icon Lisa Frank and all the brightly colored photos on Instagram.
For this project I want you to think of fun carnival colors, ice cream trucks and warm sunny days at the beach. You can download popsicle illustrations from free to use sites or draw your own. With just a few simple supplies from Hygloss Products and you will be on your way to creating some sweet sparkly paper art.
Lets get started….
