It’s like finding a new way to make a Lego that you can use to build anything you like.

  1. Apply glue (for wood) evenly along the popsicle stick surface. Glue the popsicle sticks to each other one by one. Watch for the same length and width.
  2. Line them all up and make six set of it. Two sets are around 14 cm (5.5 inches) for the bottom and cover of the box, another 4 sets are square in dimension for the four sides of the box.
