How to Make Popsicle Stick French Fries
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Gather your supplies: craft sticks, red and pink felt, googly eyes, paint, scissors, glue, and a black marker.
Step 2: Trim the Sticks
Cut off the rounded ends of some craft sticks so the fries look flat on top.
Step 3: Paint the Fries Yellow
Paint the trimmed sticks yellow too so all your fries match.
Step 4: Cut the Fry Container
Cut a fry container shape out of red felt.
Step 5: Shape the Container
Use the template to cut a curve in the top of one side of the fry container.
Step 6: Add the Fries
Begin gluing the yellow sticks inside the container to look like fries poking out.
Step 7: Fill Out the Fries
Add more craft sticks behind the first layer to make the fries look full and fun and then glue the fry container shut.
Step 8: Add Salt Sparkle
Use glitter glue to add wavy “salt” or sparkle details to the fries if you’d like.
Step 9: Add the Eyes and Cheeks
Glue googly eyes to the container.
Cut two pink felt circles for cheeks and glue them under the eyes.
Step 10: Draw the Smile
Draw a big smile with your black marker to finish off your happy French fries!
All done!
Hang your finished French fries on display!
