Crafting 4 Christmas | Part 7 | Sledge made from wooden sticks | DIY

Crafting 4 Christmas part 7.png

Introduction

For a while I've been wanting to craft a sledge from popsicle sticks, but so far I've been postponing this due to the very simple fact that I hate sawing stuff. Yesterday I decided to ask if my other half was willing to saw the parts needed, which he did. Those hands you see in the pictures below belong to him. Thanks for the help, babe!

The initial idea was to create the same sledge I found in an image somewhere and once saved in my folders, so that's how I start the tutorial, but at one point my daughter requested that she could use the sledge for her dolls in the doll house and therefore I slightly adapted the way I put it together. No worries, I only used parts that were "extra" after my boyfriend had sawn the sticks.

The process

The end result

I had to take a picture while hanging before my daughter confiscated the sledge to use it in her dollhouse. Not too bad for a first time craft with wood.

Hopefully, you enjoyed this part, I sure did and I'm quite sure that I will start crafting more decorations using these sticks in the future. See you next time!

Oh wow.. This was a neat walk through on how you make them. I may give this a try and make a few for our Christmas Trees. So cute and I guess I could paint them if I wanted as well. Thanks for the step by step! 😁

Thanks, and have fun! My daughter will paint this one as well today, as it's now handed over to her instead of an ornament .. so if I want one in the tree, I will have to make another one I guess.. Have fun!
