How to make handmade gingerbread with sticks

What you need:

handmade sticks (five thinner and two wider)
brown paper
brown acrylic paint
paint brush
black marker
white chalk marker
eye shadow
the two halves glitter black
glue
pom-pom fruit (pink, green, blue and yellow)
red silk ribbon
pencil
drag

Step-by-step instructions

Grab your scissors.

Cut a craft stick and start cutting it.

Paint each craft bar brown.

Continue painting the craft sticks.

Body

Begin by gluing five craft sticks together to form a body.

Apply glue to the craft sticks you cut in half on the back of the body for strength.

Place half on the upper part and the other half on the lower part of the body.

Arms and legs

Our Gingerbread Man craft stick also needs arms and legs.

Apply glue to both halves of the thicker craft stick.

The arms will go towards the body.

Repeat this step with the two wider craft sticks you cut in half.

These will be the legs. Attach them to the bottom.

Head

Draw a circle for the head on brown paper and cut it out.

Use a white chalk pen to draw a wavy line around the head as if it were frozen.

Draw eyes and mouth on the head with a black pen and glue a pink pom-pom for the nose.

Take a Q-tip and lightly apply Gingerbread Man blush.

Likewise, draw a wavy line at the end of the thick craft stick.

Glue the head to the body.

Stick colorful pom-poms on the Gingerbread Man’s chest.

Take a red ribbon and start making a bow.

Tie the red ribbon and cut off the excess.

Glue the red bow to the Gingerbread Man.

This Stick Gingerbread Man Craft will make the holidays even more fun.
