Get ready for your next nature adventure by making a colorful walking stick with Team GCM member, Jenna!
Materials:
- A long, sturdy stick or small branch from your backyard
- Paint and paintbrushes
- Decorative items of your choice (ex. yarn or string, beads, glitter)
Directions:
- The only direction for this project is to decorate your stick using your imagination!
Design Ideas:
- Paint your stick top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top in the colors of the rainbow! Do you remember the order? ROYGBV of course!
- Add beads to your string or yarn to tie around your stick and hear the beads swish and clank together as you’re walking.
- Wrap one part of your stick all with yarn! All you have to do is tie one loop around your stick and tie with a knot and then wrap your yarn around your stick row by row, then tie off again with a tight knot.
- What about some light jingle bells? Add a few, small jingle bells on some yarn to your stick for some jingle jangle!
- You’ve heard of Forky… what about Sticky?! Add some google eyes to the top of your stick to create a walking stick buddy!
