How to make craft sticks strawberry

Materials

Here’s everything you’ll need to make your own craft sticks strawberry:

• Craft Sticks (Jumbo): These form the base of your strawberry and provide a sturdy structure.
• Wiggle Eyes: Adds a fun and whimsical touch to your strawberries.
• Craft Felt: For creating the green strawberry leaves.
• Acrylic Craft Paint (Red, Pink, Black): Used to paint the strawberry body, add blush, and create seeds.

Equipment

• Glue Gun and Glue Sticks: Essential for securely attaching materials.
• Scissors: To trim the craft sticks and cut the felt.
• Paintbrush: For painting the surface of the strawberries.
• Marker (Black): To draw the strawberry’s smiling face.
• Pencil: For marking cuts and placements.
• Strawberry Patterns: Printable templates for perfectly shaped leaves and strawberry details. Find mine in the craft card at the bottom.

Instructions to make the strawberry craft

1. Create the Base: Arrange three jumbo craft sticks in a triangle shape and glue them together at the corners. TIP: You can use liquid craft glue instead of a glue gun, but it will take longer to dry.
2. Add the Inner Sticks: Lay additional craft sticks inside the triangle to fill in the shape. Mark the sticks with a pencil, trim them to size, and glue them in place.
3. Paint the Strawberry: Basecoat the craft stick triangle with red acrylic paint. Let it dry and apply a second coat if needed.
4. Add Leaves and Eyes: Print and cut the strawberry leaf patterns from green craft felt. Attach the leaves and wiggle eyes to your strawberry using the glue gun.
5. Add Details: Use pink paint to stamp cheeks with a pencil eraser. Draw a smile with a black marker and stamp seeds with the end of the paintbrush handle dipped in black paint. Allow everything to dry completely.

Tips

1. Use Templates: Printable patterns are a lifesaver for getting the strawberry leaves just right.
2. Layer Your Paint: Adding a second coat of red paint ensures a vibrant and even finish.
3. Involve the Kids: Let kids help with non-technical steps like painting and attaching the wiggle eyes—they’ll love being part of the process.

Craft Variations

1. Mini Strawberries: Use smaller craft sticks to create miniature versions. Perfect for fridge magnets!
2. Fruit Friends: Expand the project to include other fruits like pineapples or watermelons.
3. Glitter Strawberries: Add a touch of sparkle with glitter paint or adhesive gems.
4. Hanging Ornaments: Attach string to the top and turn your strawberries into cute hanging decorations.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use regular craft sticks instead of jumbo ones?
   Yes, but the strawberries will be smaller, perfect to use as magnets though.
2. What type of glue works best for this project?
   A glue gun is ideal for quick and secure bonding, but liquid craft glue can work if you don’t mind waiting for it to dry.
3. Can I substitute felt for another material?
   Absolutely! Construction paper or foam sheets are great alternatives for the leaves.
4. Is this craft suitable for young kids?
   Yes, with adult supervision for using scissors and glue guns.
