Sometimes the simplest craft supplies are also the most versatile. Until recently, I overlooked just how much you can do with basic popsicle sticks, craft sticks or tongue depressors.

3 Creative DIY Popsicle Stick Crafts In Under 3 MinutesBut I’ve already got a couple of cool projects on the site which use popsicle sticks. If you missed it a few months ago, be sure to check out how you can create an adorable mini-pallet for succulent plants here. Also take a look at this recent project for creating DIY napkin holders.

Today I actually have three new popsicle stick crafts for you. They are all so fast and easy that I’ve been able to showcase them all in a single video which is under three minutes long. Check it out!
