Happy New Year!! Kids will love creating their own New Year’s kid’s craft puzzle using craft sticks. There are two template options—one is a coloring page the young artist can color and the other is already colored.
How to make a kid’s craft puzzle
You’ll need these supplies:
- Happy New Year templates
- 12 craft sticks
- Painter’s tape or masking tape
- Double-sided tape
- Craft knife
Let’s make the Happy New Year kid’s craft puzzle:
- Print the Happy New Year template. Cut out your choice of pictures following the cutting line. The picture should measure 4¼” x 4¼”.
- Cover the back side of the print with double-sided tape, but don’t expose the adhesive just yet.
- Line up the twelve craft sticks. It is helpful to use a ruler or another craft stick to get the sides even.
- Hold the craft sticks in place with a strip of painter’s or masking tape.
- Turn the craft sticks over.
- Now it’s time to expose the adhesive on the double-sided tape.
- Position the picture on the craft sticks.
- Turn the puzzle over, and remove the painter’s tape.
- Use a craft knife to slice between each craft stick. Younger crafters may need an adult to do this step of the puzzle.
- Mix up the sticks and enjoy your Happy New Year puzzle.We hope you enjoyed making this Happy New Year puzzle.
