We love working with craft sticks, lollipop sticks or popsicle sticks (whatever name they go by). They are a fab craft material and so versatile. This craft stick wall hanging is a super fun collaborative art project or perfect for making over a period of time.
Craft Stick Wall Hanging
We did our craft stick wall hanging as a family art project. We have screen free time as a family each evening and it was fun to all fit around the table and decorate our own craft sticks. Now we have made this, we can see lots of possibilities to make different ones. From painting the sticks like this Process Art Craft Stick Rainbow Project by Preschool Powol Packets or by covering them with washi tape, ribbon or lace or even a mixture of all making a multi-media project.

How to Make a Craft Stick Wall Hanging
We all decorated some craft sticks with our pens. I love how individual they all turned out and that we all had a hand in doing them. We went for a crazy rainbow of colours, but you could tone it down with a select palate.
Once we decorated our craft sticks we decided that we wanted to make a wall hanging. So we laid the sticks out in order on a piece of duct tape.
Then we turned the middle bunch of sticks 90 degrees before sticking them all close together on another piece of duct tape.
We stuck some string on the top of the craft sticks with duct tape to make a hanger.
Maxi decided that the hanger needed something else, so took at look at my yarn and decided to make a frill at the bottom. He did this by wrapping the yard around his fingers and attaching the loops with tape before trimming the ends. I have to admit that he was right and it looks fantastic.

That is really cute Jen!
It’s amazing what you can make with craft sticks. I love that each one has a different pattern or colour combination.
What a fun colourful thing to make. I love that you can let children’s imaginations run free to decorate their sticks however they like. Perfect rainy day craft.
At first, I thought – Duct tape???… And then I saw how easy is to do it with it! Thanks for the idea 🙂
That looks really effective but nice and simple to do

Very cute! What a lovely craft for a classroom- each child could decorate a stick and then putting them all together would make a lovely collective piece of artwork. You find great crafts, we love them!
