Art Hanger




All year long, we have been sending the kids home with fun art and now there is a place to put it! We made these art hangers for our mothers for Mother's Day.

Here's What you need:
  • 6 popsicle sticks (skinny or fat or a combination of the two)
  • Hot glue gun
  • Markers
  • Black Yarn
  • Giraffe head cut out
  • 2 Mini clothes pins (You can find them at Walmart or at craft stores.)

Here's What You Do:
  1. Color the popsicle sticks orange and add big brown spots. Color "hoofs" on the bottom of 4 of the sticks.
  2. Color and cut out a picture of a giraffe head.
  3. Use the hot glue gun to glue the 4 legs and a neck to the back of one of the sticks.
  4. Glue the head at the top of the neck.
  5. Glue a clothes pin on each of the outer legs. (The inner two don't need one.)
  6. Cut a length of string and tie a knot in each end. Glue it between the legs to act as a hanger.
  7. Braid three short lengths of yarn and knot each end. Glue to the end of the body as a tail.
