Crafts from ice cream sticks with your own hands - schemes with a photo, a master class for beginners, new design

Few people know how to make a craft of ice cream sticks, and immediately throw them away. However, this seemingly unnecessary material can be used in many toys or souvenirs.

The main thing is that it will be possible for a child with the help of an adult to make such a craft, as well as independently.

The easiest option is a pencil holder

As the first craft from ice cream sticks, you can choose a pencil holder. This is a fairly simple item that requires a minimum of time and tools.

The main thing is to stock up on the required number of sticks.

First you need to decide what will be the delivery for the pens: round or square.
Then you need to find the shape itself, which will then be pasted over with sticks. A plastic, glass, or iron container will do.
Their number will depend on the size of the stand. The height of the form will need to be selected in accordance with the wooden materials, you can take a little less than their height.
The main thing is that a piece does not remain unsticked at the top.
The form is glued around the entire perimeter with sticks. You can even decorate an old pencil holder in this way if you are tired of it.
After the work is completed, it remains only to cover the top with paints or just draw a pattern. You can glue beads or cut figures out of paper.

There is another option that can be used ready-made, not only as a pencil holder, but also as a box, if you take a large base.

To do this, a pentagon is cut out of corrugated cardboard or plywood, on each side of which sticks are laid out in rows on top of each other.

Layout is done until the product is of the desired height. The resulting product can also be a New Year's craft from sticks, if you paint the box accordingly.

Bracelet for young women of fashion

Another rather unusual craft made from ice cream sticks can be done with your daughter. The result will be an interesting and beautiful result - a wrist bracelet.

To create a craft, you will need to carry out preparatory work: soak a wooden base in hot water for about 7 hours.
After that, the stick will get wet and it will be easy to bend, then it will need to be shaped like a bracelet and placed in a jar with a diameter of the required size for the same period of time.
After water procedures, the stick should dry out, and only then can it be painted and decorated as you please.

Frame

Another simple option that even a child can handle. Material costs will be minimal because a photo frame usually does not have wide margins.

Two sticks are glued together - this will be the upper and lower parts, on the sides, on both sides, 2 more pieces are glued vertically.

A square frame is also glued to the back, which is made of one stick in thickness. The photo frame is ready. If you wish, you can also make an additional stand.

Put three sticks on a horizontal surface tightly to each other and glue together from the end. Glue two sticks from the end perpendicular to each other and glue to the other three. Now all that remains is to connect the stand and the frame itself.

By the way, you can make such a craft out of sushi sticks. You just have to cut them to length and come up with another stand. And you can leave the same long, but print a photo of a larger format.

New Year theme

Due to their small size, ice cream sticks easily fit into any designs and models.They are also quite easy to use and quickly stick together.

Therefore, they are often used to make voluminous snowflakes and stars that decorate a Christmas tree or room.

You can glue several sticks in length, thus building a large snowflake, or take 5 sticks and assemble a star, fastening the ends together.

It remains only to color the resulting products, you can stick on beads and even buttons. Styrofoam balls will make a great imitation of snow.

Bookmark for a book

Another fairly simple craft that does not require any more materials other than paints. You don't even need to cut or glue anything.

Ice cream sticks are quite thin, so they are easy to use as bookmarks for books.

You just need to paint the wand as soon as imagination allows. An ordinary pattern, just plain or even a favorite character - everything can be depicted on a wooden base. A huge plus is also that the surface is fairly flat, and the paint will dry quickly.

Panel

The principle of creating a craft will be the same as when working with a bookmark: you will need paints with which the plot will be drawn. The only difference is that you need several chopsticks at once.

They are glued sideways to each other, and only then they draw some kind of picture. Such a panel can be placed on a table or hung on the wall as a decoration.

Some even use such crafts as hot coasters. For strength, you can add two more sticks down, which will be glued across to the base.

Small house

Quite a complex craft that a child can handle with the help of an adult. The following materials will be needed:

Scissors;
Glue;
There are lots of sticks.

Progress:

On the table you need to lay out about 12 pieces of chopsticks in an even row. After everything is aligned, you need to glue them from the end;
For strength, they also glue 2 sticks at the back perpendicularly;
You need to make 7 pieces of such bases. For two, not 2, but 3 sticks are glued for reliability;
One workpiece must be placed on the table and the guides must be mounted in the amount of 4 pieces to hold the walls together;
The remaining three blanks will be the roof. Those blanks where three sticks are glued at the back will be slopes, the third will be the base.
It only remains to add details to the house: a door, a staircase, perhaps even furniture. You can paint the house and add decor. Someone even comes up with furniture from cotton swabs for crafts.
