Instructions

Cut off the front of the card and trim up or cut into a shape. Lay out enough craft sticks to fit the card.

 

 Use tape to hold them together on the back side. Spread a layer of tacky glue over the back of the card.

 

Burnish down the card so all edges adhere.

 

Wipe off any excess glue with a damp cloth. Let dry.

 

Remove tape from back. Use a sharp exacto knife to slice through the card where the craft sticks meet.
