The Ideas of Making Furniture With Ice Cream Sticks

Abstaining from throwing out ice cream sticks can be a prudent course of action for those who like certain kinds of ice cream treats. Crafting whole pieces of furniture is something that is not only possible with ice cream sticks, but is also an exercise in creativity. Saving a few ice cream sticks can allow a person to make some interesting things.
  1. End Tables

    • Making an end table out of ice cream sticks is similar to crafting a small project such as a photo frame, but it is something that is done on a slightly larger scale. Glue, ice cream sticks, a plan, and patience are all needed to finish this craft project. Working on the top of the end table first is the simplest step. The table legs, whether you decide to make four or settle for three, can each be made separately and then attached to the top of the table. Taking time to ensure that every piece fits together correctly is a final step that results in an impressive, artistically crafted, working furniture item.

    Stick Bookcases

    • Putting together a stick bookcase is an easier project than an end table simply because a bookcase can be made to be smaller than many other types of furniture. Creating a tiny bookcase that attaches to a wall, or sits on a desk and holds a few items, results in a useful, practical item attractive to look at, trouble-free, and comfortable to use. Gluing ice cream sticks together to create the shelves prior to making the sides, back, and top of the bookcase is the secret to this project. Constructing the back, then the sides, and then attaching everything together produces a sturdier bookcase in spite of the fact that ice cream sticks are being utilized to make it.

    Small Desk

    • Building a small desk out of ice cream sticks is a project more than one person may enjoy doing together. For this project, you'll acqure the needed amount of ice cream sticks much faster if you buy them in bulk rather than with ice cream products. Like the steps used to create a bookcase or end table, taking enough time to make sure everything comes together correctly is necessary to create a well-designed tiny desk.
