I would be accustomed to throwing away the leftover ice cream sticks. Now I have to say NO to this move! Don't underestimate the small ice cream stick, it can transform into a charming scenery in the hands of environmentalists. When you finish eating a piece of ice cream, please remind yourself to keep the stick. Then when you save a box, we can start making all kinds of fun little things. Of course, we can also record your summer total. How many popsicles were “consumed”! Today, we try to use these small sticks to make octagonal lanterns . The materials required are: about 280 65mm ice cream sticks, white latex and a small amount of instant glue. After the work is completed, if it is painted with varnish or various colors of paint, it will be more beautiful and durable.
Step 1: Find a piece of waste paper and follow the picture Use the pattern to draw an equilateral octagon with a side length of 60mm, and place the ice cream stick according to the equilateral octagon.
Step 2: Repeat step 1 to make 24 such circles and arrange them neatly Stacked together, they form the main body of the lantern.
Step 3: Next, we will do the closing work. There are still 8 ice-cream sticks on one layer, but the circles should be reduced in sequence. In addition, we should not be neat.
Step 4: Make the lantern base, repeat steps 1 to 4, here step 1 is made Just do it in one circle, and follow steps 2 and 3 to collect the rest.
Step 5: Continue Come down and make the legs of the base. The legs are in a trapezoidal shape. Use 6 ice cream sticks to align and glue them upward, and then use 8 ice cream sticks.
Step six, we turn over the two outriggers. Use 5 ice cream sticks to stick them horizontally into one piece, and then connect the left and right sides of this piece to the top of the two outriggers.
Step 7: Turn the base over and place it on topGlue 6 more ice cream sticks on the surface in a vertical direction to strengthen the strength and bonding of the legs. Besides, this place.
Step 8: Connect the base and the legs and glue them together. Let’s take a close-up.
Step 9: Glue four sticks vertically on the second layer from top to bottom of the base Ice cream sticks, which can play a role in fixing the main body of the lantern. Glue a one-yuan coin in the middle of the lantern base, place the candle on the coin, and we will "light it" immediately.
Step 10: Put the main body of the lantern on. Are you worried that it is easier to use wood? combustion. But there is a little secret here. The space we specially left for the closing part just dissipates the heat of the candle. If you still feel unsafe, you can paint some fire retardant paint on it. Of course, painting it with colorful colors can create a work full of personality.
