Inside: How to make a fun and easy red, white and blue popsicle stick star door hanger for summer.
This quick and easy popsicle stick stars door hanger is quick and easy to make and the perfect summer decoration.
I love having it hanging from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
I have always loved the patriotic decor. The red, white and blue always look so fun and perfect for the summer months.
For the 4th of July, I wanted a simple star door hanger, so I decided to make one.
Red, White and Blue Stars Door Hanger
I wanted to keep the cost down so I used supplies I already had on hand but if you need to purchase everything to make this Star Door Hanger it should cost you about $5.
Supplies for the Popsicle Stick Stars Door Hanger
– 15 Popsicle Sticks – These are really cheap at the dollar store or in a big box at Walmart
– Red, White, and Blue Paint – I used the Apple Barrel Acrylic paint
– Twine/ribbon I got this at the Dollar Store
– Hot Glue Gun and Glue (super glue, school glue or a glue stick would also work)
Making the 4th of July Door Hanger
The first step to make this patriotic door hanger is making the popsicle stick stars.
You need 5 popsicle sticks for each star. Paint 5 sticks in each color (red, white, and blue) and let them dry.

Using glue attach the 5 sticks together in a star shape by overlapping the ends with glue and making it into a star.
You might want to try making the shape a few times before adding glue to see what you like. I make mine in by laying the sticks in the same order I would use when drawing a star.
Attach the stars together with twine. My stars are about 4 inches apart. Make a loop of twine and attach it to the top star and you’re done!
This popsicle stick star door hanger is a fun and simple way to decorate your front door or any door in your house.
We have made them to hang on our front door and in the pantry (when we don’t have our paper plate flag wreath hanging there).
