CIY Staff Tips:
- If you don’t have Popsicle sticks at home, substitute craft sticks instead.
- Experiment with other supplies like chenille stems and cotton swabs to make a frighteningly good family of monsters!
Steps:

Cover 5–7 Popsicle sticks with paint. Dry 1–2 hours. Add second coat. Dry 1–2 hours.

Line up painted Popsicle sticks side by side. Glue unpainted Popsicle stick across the middle to hold sticks together and create base for monster arms.

Let glue dry 15–30 minutes, then flip sticks over.
