How to Make a Stick Family
- 1). Cut circles out of card stock to use as the heads of each family member. Draw facial features on each circle. Use yarn for hair and facial hair, if applicable.
- 2). Measure twigs or craft sticks to create the bodies of each family member. While measurements do not have to be precise, you do not want the dad or mom to be shorter than the children, so make adjustments accordingly. Make arms and legs out of twigs or craft sticks that correlate with the size of the bodies.
- 3). Use craft twine or similar material to bind each stick arm and leg to the stick bodies. Gluing the appendages is also an option, use hot glue to avoid waiting a long time for the glue to dry.
- 4). Use felt or pieces of scrap fabric to make clothing for each figure. Draw tracings of clothing pieces such as shirts, pants, dresses and shorts on a piece of paper and place it over a piece of felt or scrap fabric to cut out and make the clothing. Attach the clothing with glue.
- 5). Use card stock to cut out hands and feet for each character if desired or leave the figure as is.
