Popsicle Stick Puzzles

Cameron has gotten a few cards lately that she absolutely loves. How could you not...they're "Mouse" her favorite thing in the whole world! I really didn't want to throw them away so I had the idea of making puzzles out of them. (Ok, so I actually got the idea from Pinterest, but still.) Here's how I did it. 

These are the things you'll need:


Greeting card
Large popsicle sticks
Masking tape
Exacto knife
Spray glue 


Cut the front side of your card off. Line up popsicle sticks to the width of the card. I used a straight edge to make sure the popsicle sticks were lined up evenly.  


Place strips of masking tape along the popsicle sticks to hold them in place.  


Flip the card over and go crazy with the spray glue.


Press the card onto the popsicle sticks immediately to ensure a secure bond.


Let dry according to the glue bottle instructions. My glue said to let sit for 1 hour.


 Flip card and sticks over, remove masking tape and use the exacto knife to separate the sticks. 



 Then you're done.


Wrap a rubber band around the sticks and you have a small little puzzle to go. Great for entertaining kiddos on airplanes, at restaurants, etc.
