Popsicle Stick Scarecrow Craft!

I recently found a fun and inexpensive craft for the fall! This Popsicle Scarecrow project would be perfect for the week of Thanksgiving. Plus, my family has been saving our popsicle sticks from our summer freezer pops. My kids will love making these scarecrows with different facial expressions. Want to make this popsicle art as well? If so, just have the following supplies ready at home:

  • 8 Popsicle Sticks
  • Glue
  • Brown, yellow, white, orange paper
  • Scissors
  • Brown/black marker
  • Brown paint

PS: If you do not have any popsicle sticks at home, then go to your local craft store. You should be able to purchase some of these sticks for under $2 for 30 sticks.

Removing Rust Stains From Stainless Steel!

I recently tried this tutorial and it worked wonderfully. You’ll need to have the following supplies ready at home, if wanting to make this solution too:

  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1-2 tablespoons baking soda

PS: I didn’t have a lemon on hand, but had lemon juice available. The bottled lemon juice worked just as well.
