Step 3. Using your ruler, measure the length of the remainder of the box that still needs to be covered. Next measure the sides of the box. | |
Step 4. Use heavy duty scissors to cut your sticks to the size needed.* Ask for assistance from an adult for this step. | |
Step 5. Glue the cut sticks into place on the front and sides of the box. Tip:you will not need to cover the back of the box as it will be hung with magnets and hidden from view. | |
Step 6. Cut (3) 2 inch pieces of Skinny Sticks. Glue the pieces vertically along the front corner edges and the middle seam where the sticks meet as shown. | |
Step 7. Paint your pencil holder with Acrylic Paint. | |
