We began decorating our popsicle stick bracelets by applying a thin layer of paint to the top, side and underside of the bent popsicle stick. Remove sticks from water and let them cool for a minute or two, then very carefully bend the sticks into a half circle and slide into a glass or jar (i used a jam jar). To be on the safe side, boil more sticks than you need in case some split, crack etc….
Remove Sticks From Water And Let Them Cool For A Minute Or Two, Then Very Carefully Bend The Sticks Into A Half Circle And Slide Into A Glass Or Jar (I Used A Jam Jar).
Let the sticks sit in the hot water for an additional 15 minutes. After the popsicle sticks form into. Using hot glue, adhere a stick along the top edge of the 11 sticks.
If The Wood Is Still Too Stiff To Manipulate, Boil More Hot Water And Soak The Sticks For 15 More Minutes.
Place popsicle sticks and water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boiling the sticks will make them very pliable. Then remove and place the sticks inside cups to form a bracelet shape.
Too Much Wet Paint Will Cause The Bracelet To Expand From It's Current Shape.
Boil for 5 minutes, turn off the pot and let them soak in the hot water for 30 minutes. Place about eight craft sticks in a sauce pan of water. If not leave them soak for a bit longer, emptying out the water and replacing with freshly.
Once They’re Soft, Bend The Popsicle Sticks Inside A Small Cup To Create A Round Shape.
Because wood floats, i carefully set a glass bowl on top of my popsicle sticks to keep them submerged in water and from drying out. Do the same for the bottom. Be sure to add plenty of water, as a significant amount will evaporate while boiling.
