21 Fun Popsicle Stick Crafts for Adults You Have to See!

Popsicle stick crafts are not just for kids. Here is our collection of popsicle stick crafts for adults that we would actually make!

It pains me a little bit each time I see our kids throw away their finished popsicle sticks. With how many frozen treats the five of them go through, we really should have invested in popsicle company stocks.

To make ourselves feel better about the missed opportunity, we’ve started looking for creative ways to use those craft sticks. Here is our collection of fun popsicle stick crafts for adults that we would actually make!

However we realize that not everybody has ready access to driftwood.

One supply that is easy to find and craft with are popsicle or wooden craft sticks. As I mentioned above we go through lots of boxes of Popsicles in my family especially throughout the summer. The kids have gotten into the habit of rinsing them off and placing them in a special spot for crafting.

  1. Any suggestions on how I clean the popsicle sticks before crafting with them? Everyone seems to skip that step in their instructions.

    1. That’s a great question! I usually wash mine with soap and a bit of warm water but the color often stays. Usually I plan to paint them, so don’t worry about it. If you need them colorless, you could soak in a solution of 1 cup water to 1/4 cup bleach. Hope that helps!

    2. @K Hindall, most crafters don’t use the germ ridden used ones they buy fresh clean ones from a craft store so no cleaning needed
