Instructions on how to make popsicle stick bridges?
Use a truss design. Remember to use lots of triangles as they are the strongest geometrical shape, and also, if you are just testing only the strongest Popsicle stick bridge, use many reinforced Popsicle sticks (two or more popsicle sticks laid on-top of each other). Make your bridge as symmetrical as possible, as this well help your bridge endure more surface and joint tension.If you are using popsicle sticks for your deck as well, you should probably double layer it, then add a zigzag or triangles pattern of sticks on the bottom the deck, to further reinforce it. When you make joints with your popsicle sticks, make it look something like this: --------_______-------- <stick layout keep that pattern consistent, with out laying them in a stair type pattern. Think of those small sturdy bridges with wide, geometrical beams.

You need to take some Popsicle sticks and glue them to the size of you're square. Then make 4 triangles. Cut some of the sticks down if needed.

What crafts can you uses Popsicle sticks for?
There are a lot of things you can do with popsicle sticks. One of my favorites is a popsicle stick box. Here is how to make it. You need white glue and popsicle sticks. So you have probably heard of Lincoln Logs. If you haven't, Google it. Look at how the pieces are stacked on top of each other. Do this with your popsicle sticks, but of course your popsicle sticks won't have indents in them, so you have to glue them together instead. There should be small spaces between each popsicle stick after you glue them. It is okay if they aren't perfectly straight up and down. Okay now you fit some popsicle sticks into the empty spots. First put a line of glue down the lower sides, and glue them on. When it is dry you can flip it over and make the top. Do the same thing as you did on the bottom, but only put the glue on one side. While that part is drying you might want to add some glue to the very edge to act as hinges. Also why it is drying you may need to rub some glue on top to get the lid to stay together. Open the box once in a while, even if you need to force it. If you do that, the lid should work right when it is ready. If you want to you can paint it or decorate it in any way you want. It looks really cool if you look through the sides of it!
Could you use four popsicle sticks to make a splint?
You can use 2 Popsicle sticks to make a finger splint. Place one stick on each side of the finger and tape around it or use a triangle bandage with a square knot above and below the broken part. If you are trying to splint another part of the body try not to use Popsicle sticks because they aren't long enough since you need to demobilize both joints above and below a break. I would suggest for arm or legs using wood planks or magazines to splint.
How do you make a boat out of popsicle sticks?
Using an numerous designs that have been proven in the real world. Search Google Images and look at the design of those bridges. In my opinion the best design looks something like this: ______ \/\/\/\/\ This is a very simple, strong design. It is called the Warren Truss. Also consider using the Pratt or Howe truss designs. Well, I just finished making a popsicle bridge and I think the most important things you need to do are paste all the popsicle sticks together to form the bottom part (just like the picture above) and then basicly just add some objects that well make your building strongerlike: tringles,(keep in mind they are very strong) some extra popsicle sticks on the bottom of your creation maybe some glue on each fragment to reaforce it after you are done. and any extra effects you want to add. and that is probably it.

How do you make a ferris wheel out of popsicle sticks?
You will need glue, razor blades and a picture to guide you. (Oh, I'm also assuming you are going to be making a Dutch type of windmill....) Can you only use popsicle sticks? If not, add toothpicks and paper clips to your list. Toothpicks are great for adding detail and for using as supports. The paper clip can be opened to help support the blades so that they will spin. You can make the base square or to be fancy a pentagon or octagon! -Begin by drawing the shape of the bottom on the windmill. -Cut and lay the popsicle sticks flat on a piece of wood that will hold your windmill. -I would continue gluing pieces on top of this base with the sticks laying flat on top. It will take a lot but it will allow you to stagger the sticks so that you can make the walls go in and out depending on the placement of your sticks. -When your base is done, place sticks on top to cover it up. -Begin constructing your blades. Make a hole in the middle so that it can spin. -Now build a "block" on top of your base with sticks. -Build a top for your windmill and that will sit on the base. -Insert the blades into the block... -Use the toothpicks as window trim, door trim and for the blades. You can also use it for support and structure if you use the sticks differently. It sounds confusing but I hope you can make sense out of this suggestions. Good luck. * 2 years ago
