We love popsicle stick crafts around my house. With a little creativity, you can turn a few popsicle sticks into just about anything! In this post, I am going to show you how to turn popsicle sticks into a hot cocoa mug craft.

Supplies Needed:
Dark Brown & Assorted Color Paint or Paint Pens
Regular Popsicle Sticks
Small Piece of Cardboard
Additional Decor as Desired

Directions:
Evenly line up 7 regular size popsicle sticks to make the popsicle stick hot cocoa mug.

Using a hot glue gun, run a line of hot glue the entire length of a small popsicle stick & press it horizontally onto one end of the 7 sticks – repeat this step on the other end as well.

Flip the newly made board over and lightly trace out a half circle section at the top for the hot cocoa section, paint this section brown.

Paint the remaining space your desired mug color.

Using the cardboard, cut out a handle shape and paint it with the same mug color.

When both are dry, attach the handle to the mug from the back.

Use the white paint pen or marker to draw marshmallows in the hot cocoa section of the mug.

Using the other assorted colors and/or craft decor, decorate your mug as desired
Your hot cocoa popsicle stick mug craft is now complete!

There are so many ways that you can decorate this mug and your kids will have tons of fun picking out their decor so feel free to jazz up this hot cocoa mug popsicle stick craft with anything you can image!
