WHERE TO GET WIDE PAINT SAMPLES
I used Behr paint samples from Home Depot for this project, but feel free to use any paint sample you can find.
TIP: If you can only find paint samples with words (like the brand) on the front, use a very strong eraser to take off the text.
POPSICLE CRAFT DIRECTIONS
1. Simply draw out a popsicle shape on the back of the paint sample. Then cut it out.
2. Trace the shape onto white card stock paper and cut.
You can skip this step if you are not going to make an invitation. For crafts only, you only need one side!
3. Tape the 2 sides together and slide a jumbo popsicle stick in the middle.
4. If you are going to have a party, write or print all the party details on the back of the popsicle invitation.

I got the Behr paint samples from Behr and just sat down to make these with my daughter and just noticed that Behr puts the logo and name in the middle of each strip now! Not on the side like you had... wow... not sure what to do now. I wonder if you met with that problem yet? What's your solution?
Melissa Sunday says
Oh no! I didn't have that problem when I made them. The logo was on the side so it was easy to cut out. I guess the only option is to find samples that don't have the logo in the middle! I'm so sorry. Let me know if you figure out a better way!
Nancy says
They erase easily with a simple eraser. I use a white one that my husband had in the garage.
