Create three Halloween monsters (scarecrow, Frankenstein, and bat) using painted popsicle sticks, googly eyes, and paper accessories. This guide walks you through building the base, painting each face, and adding unique features like straw hair, zigzag hair, and bat wings. Perfect for a fun Halloween decoration project.

Directions

Arrange six popsicle sticks next to each other, then place two more horizontally across them.

Cut the horizontal sticks so they are the same width as the six sticks underneath.

Glue the horizontal sticks to the top and bottom of the six-stick group to create a solid base.

Paint the whole popsicle base maroon for the scarecrow face.

Use green paint for the Frankenstein monster face.

Paint the base black for the bat face.

Let the paint dry for 5 to 10 minutes.

Glue googly eyes onto the scarecrow face about two-thirds of the way up the stick surface.

Above the eyes, glue some straw rope to make the scarecrow's hair.

Cut a triangle from black paper for the scarecrow's hat.

From a lighter colored paper, cut a circle or oblong shape for the scarecrow's nose.

Draw a smile on the scarecrow face using a marker.

Again attach googly eyes for the scarecrow at the same height, two-thirds up the craft stick surface.

Cut a strip of black paper as wide as the craft sticks with a zigzag edge; glue it above the eyes for Frankenstein's hair.

Use a marker to draw scars, stitching, and a lopsided smile on Frankenstein's face.

Once more, glue googly eyes for the scarecrow two-thirds up the stick surface.

Cut two small triangles from black paper and glue them above the face for bat ears.

Cut two wing shapes from black paper and glue them to both sides of the bat.

Cut two small fang-shaped triangles from lighter paper. Glue them directly onto the craft sticks or first cut a dark circle for the mouth and place the fangs on top.

Your popsicle stick monster faces are ready to be added to your Halloween decorations.
