Materials:
- 35 Popsicle sticks
- 3 1/2" square of felt
- White glue
1) Lay 11 popsicle sticks flat on your work
surface so that the edges are touching and they
are all even. We will call this the base
of the frame.
2) Run a bead of glue in a straight line
vertical to the sticks you laid down and close
to one end.
3) Lay a stick on top of this bead of glue.
We'll refer to this as the brace.
4) Repeat steps 2 & 3 on the other end of the
sticks.
5) Put a dot of glue on each of the four
corners. Lay two sticks horizontal to the
to brace pieces you glued down.
6) Put a dot of glue on each of the four
corners again and lay two sticks horizontal to
the last two you laid.
7) Continue in this fashion, building up the
sides of the box until you have used up your
sticks (each side should have 6 sticks).
8) Glue the piece of felt to the inside of
the box for a nice finished look.
Optional: Before gluing the felt into
the box, paint or decorate your box with
markers.
