The figure under the designation C clearly shows how to connect two walls, placing them perpendicularly. D shows how to make sure that the parts of the base fit well together. It is with her that you start assembling a large house, and a small one - a little differently.
- Place two sticks parallel to each other. Stick the rest on them perpendicular to this, placing them side by side. Make the wall of the building in the same way, connect the two parts as shown in Figure C.

All the same ice cream sticks will help us to create it.
You can make a veranda in the same way as a house, but without a front wall. Place doll furniture inside, which is as easy as shelling pears. To make a table, put 6 sticks next to each other, glue more sticks to them across from one of the other side. This will be the downside. Glue 4 sticks here, which will become the table legs.
We collect the chair in this way. Place 2 sticks on the edge, leaving a gap between them. On one side, insert the stick vertically into it, it will become the basis of the back of the chair. But you need to make two of them. We connect with two crossbeams. The back of the chair is ready.
His seat is also easy to make, for this you need to glue to two pairs of sticks with a gap of seven others. Place two chair legs in the remaining hole on one side, and the same number on the other.

How to make a jewelry box, bracelet from ice cream sticks?
See how to make a box out of ice cream sticks.
For this you will need:
- wooden sticks;
- pink acrylic paint;
- artificial pearls;
- glue gun.
If you don't have acrylic paint, replace it with nail polish. You can use more than one color. Alternating, gradually lay out sticks of different colors. In this case, one color is used - pink. Having given the blanks this color, wait until they dry. After that, we make the bottom of the box, fixing two transverse ones on tightly spaced parallel wooden sticks. We lay out the sides according to the principle of a well. First, we place two opposite each other, then from the remaining sides, a stick is also placed on them. Secure with glue in the corners. You can also use it to attach the faux pearls to the lid of the box.
If it has not 4, but 6 sidewalls, then you will get such an original little thing.
In this case, the bottom of the box must be made not from sticks, from cardboard, but these components must be glued onto it. You can not paint the container for storing jewelry, or pre-give the blanks the desired color, then you will get a bright thing.
If wooden elements are put in water, they can then be rounded. This was used by those who came up with the idea of making a bracelet using sticks.
These can be collected not only after eating ice cream, but also bought, for example, in a gardening store. Such sticks are sold to help people, so that summer residents can write on each one where something is planted and stick it into the garden. But we use them to create jewelry.
For this handicraft, you will need:
- ice cream stick;
- Cup;
- water;
- paint or varnish.
Pour hot water into a container, dip the sticks here for 2 hours. During this time, they will become more malleable. Then place them in a glass across, making a semicircular shape. Let them lie in this form until morning. When dry, you can take them out and paint as you like.
While the sticks are still damp, punch 2 holes in them on both sides. There you need to thread an elastic band in order to put the accessory on your hand. Would you like to make a jewelry stand? Then use the same material again.
