Materials

  • Popsicle sticks (plain and red if you find colored sticks)
  • Red paint if your stick are not already colored
  • Glue; hot glue or super glue works great
  • Twine, ribbon or pipe cleaner for hanging your ornament

Directions

First, glue three red popsicle sticks together. And glue a couple of pieces to the back side as seen in the picture below. But make sure to leave enough room for your sled rails on either side of the braces.

Next, use scissors or a sharp craft knife to cut the bottom of the sled. In fact, you want the entire length of the red portion of the sled to be about one half the length of a whole popsicle stick.

Then, glue plain popsicle sticks onto the red sticks as shown in the photo below. In that case, they’ll be glued right along the outside edges.

Next, cut one piece of red popsicle stick just longer than the width of all three. Immediately, glue it across the front, near the top.

Finally, attach the twine or in our case, fancy tinsel pipe cleaner to the backside of the small red piece – two dabs of glue should do the trick.

Adding hanger to DIY sled Christmas ornament

You can leave the hanger off if you plan to display this DIY wooden Christmas sled on your mantel or add it to your centerpiece. But if you plan to hang it on your tree, certainly add a hanger like pipe cleaner or twine.
