How To Make Patriotic Popsicle Stick Eagle Craft
Step 1: Paint seven popsicle sticks with red paint and 6 popsicle sticks with white paint. Keep them aside and let them dry.
Step 2: Take a sheet of craft paper and arrange the red and white popsicle sticks alternately as shown to make the outspread wings of the eagle craft.
Step 3: Glue the craft sticks on the craft paper and using scissors cut out the remaining paper.
Step 4: To make the body of the eagle, take three popsicle sticks and paint two-third of the sticks with brown paint. Paint the remaining one-third with red paint for two popsicle sticks. Paint the remaining section of the third popsicle with white paint. Glue the painted popsicle sticks in the center of the spread out wings of the eagle.
Step 5: Using a pencil draw the outline of the eagle’s head and cut it out.
Step 6: Colour the beak yellow with a sharpie and make a small eye with a black sharpie. Paste the head on the top of the brown popsicle sticks.
Step 7: To give the patriotic theme to your craft, paint the tips of the popsicle sticks with blue paint on the inside of the wingspan.
Step 8: Cut out small stars using a star punch and glue them on the blue section on the popsicle sticks.
