DIY Wooden Heart

I´ve had a bag full of ice pop sticks for quite some time without figuring out what to make of them. The other day I played around with some glue and made a heart. I think it turned out pretty well!

Supplies: 10-15 ice pop sticks, a knife, wood glue, sandpaper (80 & 120) and a vice. 1. start with gluing together the pop sticks and tighten them together in the vice for ten minutes (may vary, check instructions on the glue). 2. Use a knife and shape a heart. 3. Make the heart smoother with the sandpaper.

   I think your designs are very elegant and make great use of their natural components.

   I love this wooden heart. I believe I will be trying it but maybe I’ll wait until Valentine’s Day. I don’t have a clamp but I think I can borrow one. Thank you!
