A simple and cute earring stand for children to make for Mother's Day.
Materials:
- Popsicle Sticks (choice of your own colours)
- strong glue (PVA)
- small paintbrush (to apply glue)
What to do:
-
Using a paintbrush, apply glue to one end of a popsicle stick
-
Take another popsicle stick and stick it onto the area with glue at a 30-degree angle.
-
Repeat steps 2 and 3. These serve as stands for the earring display. Wait for the glue to dry.
-
Apply glue to one of the thin sides of the stands
-
Get another popsicle stick and apply glue vertically along the middle.
-
Glue this popsicle stick onto this side of one stand
-
Do the same for the other stand. Wait for the glue to dry.
-
Apply glue half an inch from the end of the popsicle stick that you glued onto the stands.
-
Take another popsicle stick and glue it onto this area at a perpendicular angle.
-
Apply glue to the same area if the other stand and attach the other end of the perpendicular stick to it
-
Repeat steps above until you've covered the whole side (make sure there are small gaps between)
-
Turn the stand upright and wait for the glue to dry.
- Hook dangling earrings, onto the gaps between the sticks.
