In this chapter we’re going to use regular sticks to design something attractive for your decor.
I’m not going to provide you with complete instructions, but instead just guide you through the creation process so you can design your own unique project.
First you’ll need to collect some sticks that are from % inch to 1/4 inch in diameter. You’ll want some Elmer’s school glue, tape, a sharp knife and cardboard as well.
Paint is optional but not needed.
Once you have gathered your materials, sit back for a bit and think of what you would like to create using your sticks.
Maybe you’d like to make an attractive picture frame, a dollhouse, a chest for holding treasures, a tee pee, a chair for bugs to sit in, it doesn’t matter.
Just spend time thinking about what you would like to create, and write down the things that interest you the most.
Once you’ve decided what you’d like to create, then sit back and think of the best way to turn your sticks into your wonderful work of art.
You can use the cardboard as backing if needed, to glue your sticks onto, or you can use other materials, like string, to hold them together, it doesn’t matter.
If you decided to make a picture frame, then this will be quite easy. You can just glue sticks onto a regular frame, or you can make a frame from your cardboard into any shape that you like (stars, heart, tree etc.).
Maybe you just want to make little ornaments for your Christmas tree. Two sticks crossed makes a lovely cross several sticks can make a nice star. You can easily design a wide range of ornaments to be used on trees or to attach to gifts as keepsake tags.
If you want to make something a bit more complex, like a 3 story dollhouse then you will of course need to take more time in thought before designing your project.
