Instructions
- Gather your supplies — popsicle sticks, glue, paint, googly eyes, felt in tan, red, green, and yellow, and your trusty scissors. Basically, you’re about to turn a snack into a masterpiece.
- Glue 4–5 popsicle sticks side by side, then add a small stick across the back to hold them together. You’ve just built the “patty support system.”
- Paint the sticks a rich brown. Yep, you’ve officially got your burger patty. Try not to get too hungry.
- On tan felt, trace and cut two half-bun shapes. Think fluffy sesame seed bun vibes.
- Cut those pieces out and admire them — they’re the perfect burger tops and bottoms.
- Glue the buns to the top and bottom of your brown popsicle stick patty. Now it looks deliciously recognizable!
- Time for toppings! Trace and cut out tomato slices (red felt), lettuce (green felt with wavy edges), and cheese (yellow felt in a triangle).
- Layer on the tomato, lettuce, and cheese between the buns. Go wild — it’s your burger, no one’s judging the toppings.
- Add googly eyes to the top bun and glue on pink felt cheeks. Your cheeseburger now has a personality… and it’s adorable.
- Use a marker to draw a big goofy smile under the eyes. Don’t be shy — give this burger the grin of someone who just got extra fries.
- Finally, use white paint or puffy paint to add sesame seeds to the bun.
- And there you have it — a cheeseburger that’s too cute to eat but perfect to display!
