How do you make a S'more from Dollar Tree Craft Sticks?
STEP ONE
To begin the Dollar Tree S'mores Kids Craft, gather all supplies. Measure three (3) jumbo craft sticks to five inches long with a ruler and pencil. Carefully cut the rounded ends off with scissors.
STEP TWO
Basecoat the three trimmed jumbo craft sticks with Titanium White acrylic paint, these will become the marshmallow. I love my Americana Acrylics from DecoArt because they have one-coat coverage on most surfaces.
Paint two whole jumbo craft sticks with Cocoa acrylic paint, these will become the graham crackers. Let dry the paint dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary. What can I use if I don't have acrylic craft paint? You can use washable markers, crayons, or even colored pencils to color the jumbo craft sticks.
STEP THREE
Once dry, flip over the craft sticks on your work surface. Dry fit them with the three white craft sticks in the center and a tan craft stick on the top and the bottom. Assemble the craft stick s’more together by cutting down additional jumbo craft sticks and attaching them to the back 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 FOUR
Download, print, and cut out the CRAFT STICK S’MORES PATTERNS from the bottom of this post. Trace the melted chocolate pattern onto brown craft foam with a pencil and cut it out with scissors.
Attach the chocolate to the s’mores between the top graham cracker and the marshmallow with a glue gun and glue sticks. Glue two large wiggle eyes to the marshmallow just under the chocolate.
STEP FIVE
Create cheeks by dipping a new pencil eraser into Bubblegum Pink acrylic paint and stamping on either side of the s’mores marshmallow face.
Draw a smile on each craft stick s’mores face from cheek to cheek with the MONO Twin Permanent Black Marker. To finish the Popsicle Stick S'mores Kids Craft, add dots to the top and bottom graham crackers with the MONO Twin. The MONO Twin is a versatile marker to craft with because it has a larger bullet tip and an extra fine tip, which makes it perfect for all types of applications.
