The humble popsicle stick is, like many other things, an incredibly versatile item which you can use in all sorts of cool and interesting projects.

Today we’re sharing a few more ideas with you and we hope you’ll enjoy them just as much as we do.
For this first project, you’re going to need a lot of popsicle sticks because what you need to do is glue a bunch of them together in order to make a hexagon-shaped shelf which you can then display on a wall. It would obviously be a decorative shelf but you can still place some lightweight items on it. If you’re interested in the idea, check out diys for more details.
You can also use popsicle sticks to make a cute little frame for a small picture.

All the details of the project can be found on diys.
Popsicle sticks can also be used to make some more complicated things such as a lovely jewelry box for example. You can customize the box in all sorts of cute ways. For example, you can paint the sticks in different colors and they alternate these colors to create a nice pattern. You can also add rhinestones, ribbons and other decorations.
