Tutorial overview
What you will need
- Bostik HG3 Hot Melt Glue Gun
- Bostik Eco Stik
- 16 popsicle sticks
- Baking paper
- Acrylic markers for decorating
STEP 1:GETTING READY
Make sure you have everything you need and find a clean surface to work on.
STEP 2: MATERIAL PREPPING
Cut out 4 12cmx12cm baking paper squares. Plug in and turn on your loaded Bostik HG3 Hot Melt Glue Gun.
STEP 3: DECORATING
Using the acrylic markers to decorate the 4 baking paper squares as desired (it doesn't matter which side you decorate). Allow to dry.
STEP 4: FORMING SQUARES
Lay 2 popsicle sticks vertically parallel to each other about 12cm apart. Using your Bostik HG3 Hot Melt Glue Gun glue a pop stick horizontally across the top tips of the vertical popsicle sticks. Repeat for the bottom tips.
This should form a pop stick square, repeat to form a total of 4 popsicle sticks squares.
STEP 5: COVERING THE SQUARES
Using your Bostik Eco Stik, glue the decorated baking paper sides down to the sides of the pop stick squares. Make sure you’ve glued the undecorated side down, so the decorated side faces upwards. Cut any excess baking paper that hang off the pop stick square edges.
Repeat for the 3 other pop stick squares.
STEP 6: ATTACHING THE SQUARES
Take 1 pop stick square and glue along 1 side to another pop stick square side using the Bostik HG3 Hot Melt Glue Gun. Repeat this for the other pop stick square. You should now have 2 corners. Allow the glue to dry.
STEP 7: FINAL TOUCHES
Using your HG3 Hot Melt Glue Gun, glue along the side on one corner to the side of the other corner. Glue together the other 2 sides. Allow to dry.
