Making a house out of ice cream sticks is quite an interesting and uncomplicated way of spending time. You can make your masterpiece from sticks in millions various ways, but, as it seems to us, it is best to start with the construction of walls from. After that, it will be possible to take up the roof, creating something like crossbars. Well, the third and most interesting stage will be the house of your choice!

Steps

Part 1

Prepare everything you need. You will need about a hundred pieces of ice cream sticks. Alternatively, you can purchase special craft sticks from a craft store or the appropriate section of a large supermarket. You will also need glue. A hot glue gun is best for the job, but children should use it under adult supervision. You also need to take paper, scissors and a utility knife.

• If you do not want to use hot glue, then you can take a jar of PVA glue.
• Always be careful when working with glue gun for hot glue, as they can get burned.

1. Line your workspace with newspaper or wrapping paper. Since you'll be working with glue, it's best to line your work surface with newspaper, a disposable tablecloth, or something else that can protect it.

   • Hot glue can sometimes be difficult to remove from surfaces, so be extra careful. It also sometimes leaks from the gun, so always place this device on a covered surface.

2. Make four squares of popsicle sticks. Lay two sticks parallel to each other at a distance equal to their length. Place two more sticks on top, forming a square. Glue the sticks on the corners. Repeat the procedure to get three more squares.

   • These squares will become the walls of the house.

3. Paste the prepared wall frames with sticks. Lay one square in front of you and stick enough sticks on it to cover its entire area. To do this, apply glue with a line on two opposite sticks, and then glue the rest of the sticks in place on top. Repeat the procedure with the remaining squares to get four sheathed walls.

   • Be sure to lay the sticks close to each other so that there are no gaps between them.
   • You may not have enough room for the last stick when you get to the opposite edge. In this case, take a utility knife and cut the last stick to the desired width.

   Part 2

   roof construction

   1. Prepare the frame. Take three ice cream sticks and fold them into a triangle, stacking the sticks on top of each other at the corners. It doesn't matter which of the three sticks is on top of the other two. Secure the sticks at all three corners with small drops of glue. Repeat the procedure to make another triangle of sticks.

      • The simplest roof uses just two triangles for support, but for a stronger roof, you can also make a third triangle that sits midway between the two main roof frame triangles.

   2. Cover one roof slope with popsicle sticks. Put a drop of glue on both flat ends of one stick. Glue this stick immediately to two triangles perpendicular to their plane. Continue sticking sticks on the triangles until you completely cover one of the roof slopes with them. Place sticks close together. Hold each stick in place for at least 5 seconds so that the hot glue has time to fix it.

      • Carefully stick each subsequent stick so as not to accidentally tear off any of the previous sticks from the triangles.

   3. Cover the second roof slope. In the same way that you covered the first slope of the roof, glue the second slope with chopsticks. Handle the roof with the same care so as not to accidentally tear off previously glued sticks from it.

   4. Sew up the gables of the roof. At this stage, your roof is open at both ends (gables). As an additional step, you can completely close from view inner part roofs. Starting from the very bottom of the gables, also paste over them with chopsticks. You will have to shorten each additional stick a little, as the gable triangle will narrow towards its top.

      • The sewn-in gables of the popsicle stick house will give it more realism, as this is how real houses are built.

      Part 3

      Assembling the house

      1. Cut through the windows. If you want to improve the house, you can cut one or two windows in its walls. The easiest way to do this is before gluing the walls together. Take a utility knife and carefully cut into the wall (or several) square (s) measuring 2.5 cm by 2.5 cm.

         • The window can be positioned both in the center and a little to the side, if you want.
         • To further decorate the house, you can use the elements you just cut out to create shutters or a window frame.

      2. Cut through the door. The house made of ice cream sticks will become even more realistic if you make a door in it. The size of the door will be determined by the size of the popsicle sticks you use. In this case, the door should turn out to be almost the full height of the house and about a third of its width. Cut through the door with a utility knife.

         • Along the edge of the doorway, you can stick a piece of paper according to the size of the door, so that it is he who performs the function of the door. Bend the paper along the glued area to simulate a door opening and closing.

I have accumulated a lot of Chinese sticks and I began to look for what to make of them ... I have my own thoughts, but strangers will not interfere either.

You have made repairs and the interior of your apartment has acquired a Japanese-Chinese style, but you also want to hang your favorite photos on the walls, and the photo frames do not fit into your interior, how then to get out of the situation? I suggest you make your own photo frames.

Making a layout

Arrange the sticks in the form of a lattice. To do this, we put two sticks parallel to each other at a distance of about 20 cm, then we put 5 sticks perpendicularly on them at a distance of 2.5-3 cm.

Preparing the components

We fasten all parts of the layout with threads. Then we repeat the same thing again. We should get 2 lattices, the same as in the picture.

We connect the components

We put the lattices together, and we connect them together.

The photo frame is ready!

We make a loop so that our frame can hang. Then glue the photo with double-sided tape. That's all, the product can be placed on the wall!
