Break out the craft sticks and make this super cute, and surprisingly colorful, Craft Stick Hedgehog Craft! This fall hedgehog craft is completely adorable, really, and so cute you just want to smoosh them up.

For our hedgehogs, we kept the craft stick body in its natural wooden state, adding a brown face and paws. We have a Free Printable Hedgehog Template for those pieces, too, by the way! Then, we added some fun and color with their spiky hair, or quills. Because yes, I googled what the hair on hedgehogs is called. It’s called quills.

Fun Hedgehog Craft Stick Craft

To make our adorable craft stick hedgehogs you will need our hedgehog template.

You will also need regular wooden craft sticks, cardstock in tan and your choice of colors, a black marker, small googly eyes, scissors, and a glue stick.

Craft Stick Hedgehog Craft Step by Step Directions

Begin by printing the hedgehog template and cut out the pieces.

Trace quills on cardstock color of choice.

Trace the spiky quill shape on the color cardstock of choice and cut out.

Now, gather 5 regular wooden craft sticks. Glue the craft sticks starting in the center of the quills.

Trace and cut out remaining template shapes on tan cardstock.

Next, trace and cut out the remaining template pieces on tan cardstock. We used circle paper punches to make our shapes before I made the template, hence why the punches are in the supply photo. But for you, you have the template.

Use marker to draw nose and lines for toes.

Add a nose to the tip of the face shape. Also add toe lines to the circle shapes.

Glue face in place at top of craft sticks.

Then, glue the face shape in place at the top of the craft sticks.

Glue the feet in place, as well. Two feet towards the face and two at the bottom of the craft sticks.

Finally, add googly eyes to complete your super cute, cuddly hedgehog. Well, would be cuddly if not for the quills, anyway.

Did you know that hedgehogs have feet, and not paws? I googled that, too. I am a wealth of hedgehog knowledge.
