Popsicle Stick Pom Pom Bookmark

A Fun and Fuzzy DIY Flower Friend

Looking for a fun and simple craft that doubles as a cheerful reading buddy? This pom pom bookmark is perfect for toddlers and young kids. With bright colors and soft textures, it’s a great way to inspire creativity and encourage reading time.

Supplies Needed

• Colorful pom poms (medium and small size – for flower petals, face, and leaves)
• Popsicle sticks (jumbo or regular)
• Googly eyes
• Black marker (for the smile)
• Craft glue (or hot glue with adult supervision)

Instructions to Make Your Pom Pom Bookmark

1. Make the Flower Face
   Start with a yellow pom pom for the center of the flower (this will be the face). Surround it with 6–8 colorful pom poms as petals. Glue them evenly around the yellow pom pom.
2. Attach to a Popsicle Stick
   Once the flower head is complete, glue it to the top of a popsicle stick to start forming your pom pom bookmark.
3. Add Leaves
   Glue two green pom poms just below the flower, at the top of the stick, to look like little leaves.
4. Bring it to Life
   Add googly eyes to the yellow pom pom center and use a black marker to draw a smile.
5. Let it Dry
   Set your bookmark aside for 10–15 minutes to let the glue fully set before using.
