Painted Popsicle Stick Flower Pot Craft

Some people call them craft sticks, but I’ve always referred to these sticks as Popsicle sticks. This Popsicle Stick Craft is simply adorable sitting on the window sill.  It’s the perfect craft for Mother’s Day, spring, and summer. Grab some paint, some popsicle sticks, and the kids to make your own Painted Popsicle Stick Flower Pot and enjoy it all summer long…

I love the colors of this particular craft.

It’s so cheerful.

It really is a sweet craft that’s the perfect gift for mom.
