A variety of products from sticks from ice cream can not only become an element of decor, but also perform useful functions. Cup holders, vases, boxes, breadboxes, stands - this is not all kinds of crafts made from ice cream sticks. Let's start with the simplest - frames for photography.
Photo frame
We will need:
- sticks of ice cream (8 pieces);
- acrylic paints;
- glue;
- decorative ornaments (pictures printed on a sheet of cardboard).
- Cover the chopsticks with acrylic paints. Color can be any. In our case, pink, yellow, blue and green paint are used (two sticks in the corresponding color). When the paint dries, place two sticks parallel to each other on a flat surface. Connect them with glue with two other chopsticks.
- When the glue dries, glue two more sticks from the back. Wait until the glue dries, and rotate the frame so that its double walls are located at the top and bottom.
- From the cardboard, cut out the drawings and use glue to attach them to the frame. On the underside of the frame, put a small amount of glue in the center of the upper double bar.
- Set the frame on the table at an angle that you think is optimal, and glue the stick that will serve as a support. If you plan to place a frame on the wall, then this step can be skipped, since the support will not be needed. It remains only to glue the back of the frame of your favorite photo and admire the crafts!
