⤤ SUPER EASY to implement - GREAT for the first weeks of school!!!!
If you would like to make some too, I have a free download for you right here:

There are a couple of ways to do this - the easiest would be to print on cardstock, laminate, and cut into strips. They can be used this way, might get a little worn after a while but it would be easy enough to replace them each school year.
To make them super sturdy, I wanted to make mine to fit on large craft sticks (the kind sized
6 inches x 3/4 inch). I bought these at Walmart:
I tried using Mod Podge at first, and that worked good,
but I realized I had a MUCH easier way to do it so I broke out my trusty Xyron machine with the laminate/permanent adhesive cartridge:
This:
That's the smaller one, that works just as good, I have the larger one here:
I got mine years ago and it's a lot cheaper now!
I loaded in the printout of Spacemen...
and out they came, laminated with permanent adhesive on the back.
Then I just cut out on the lines (I used my paper cutter) and peeled the backing off to stick on the craft stick.
I have these sized to fit the craft sticks exactly with just a little extra on the top and bottom.
I made that extra space on purpose - here's a little trick to trim off that top and bottom and make it perfectly molded to the stick. Use a fingernail file! Just use a downward motion pressing the file to the stick where the paper is hanging over. It files the paper and laminate away and shapes it to the edges of the stick:
Now they are ready to use!!
