Creative Arts by Charles Leonard Craft Sticks, Jumbo Size, 6 X 0.75 Inches, Natural, 500 per Box (66550)

The craft sticks are perfect for our craft projects. They are sturdy and good quality.

It's hard to imagine what would cause a bag of popsicle sticks to get a bad review. Fragile popsicle sticks splintering and piercing the skin? Plastic bag disintegrated into toxic fumes that gave me respiratory disease, or popsicle sticks etched with vile and profane messages? Bag full of goblins that used the sticks as makeshift weapons? Anyway, none of these things were true. It's a bag of plain and ordinary popsicle sticks, which they call "Craft Sticks" because, rather disappointingly, there's no popsicle on them. And, surprise surprise, they worked perfectly. No format issues, incorrect socket types, nothing.But honestly, while these are as good as any bag of flat wooden sticks will be, if you have the foresight you should probably just buy a bunch of popsicles and eat them to get the sticks. It's a lot more fun than just buying the sticks will ever be, and you can pick and choose the popsicles that have JUST the sticks you like! (Or, you know, just the popsicles you like instead.)

somehow bring down the price

I am a cosmetologist who uses these for waxing. I have had no issues, whatsoever. Very happy with the quality, I break them in half and don’t have major splintering issues. Great value since there’s no double dipping and I need lots of them.

These are great craft sticks. We use them to make all kinds of crafts scarecrows and use them to write different ideas to do for "family fun night" and math facts. Search Pinterest for "popsicle stick crafts" and you'll find lots of great ways to use these. Haven't had any problems with splinters.

Oh man…these are so cheaply made! They break with no real pressure, wood is ugly, and they can barely hold a lightweight flash card! Ugh! Won’t buy this brand again…

These are good. I mean, they're popsicle sticks, so what can you really ask for? They're smooth, no splinters happened, and I used them as motivators. I write a task on the end of each one and stuck them in a cup, so when I felt down or lazy, I'd pick out a stick and complete the task on it (ex: do 10 jumping jacks, take a shower, do a face mask, etc.). I would pull sticks until I felt better.

I bought these to use as waxing sticks as a previous reviewer mentioned and they work great! They are also much cheaper than the traditional waxing sticks but work just as good. They were smooth with no rough areas, splintering, or other issues. I will definitely keep purchasing these.
