Here's how to create a Barn from Popsicle Sticks
STEP ONE
To begin Dollar Tree Craft Stick Barn, gather all supplies. To create the barn, line up six jumbo craft sticks on your work surface. Using scissors, trim additional jumbo craft sticks to the width of the barn and attach them with a glue gun and glue sticks. You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
STEP TWO
Lay a jumbo craft stick diagonally at the top of the barn, make a pencil mark at the center, and cut at an angle. Attach the left-hand roof piece to the barn. Repeat with the right-hand side of the barn roof.
Trim the ends of the jumbo craft sticks jutting out from the top of the roof with scissors.
STEP THREE
Paint the front and sides of the jumbo craft stick barn and roof with Country Red acrylic craft paint. Let dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary.
STEP FOUR
Download and print the BARN PATTERN from the bottom of this post. Lay out and cut regular craft sticks to create a rectangle, using the barn door pattern as your guide. Attach two craft sticks, in an “X” pattern using a glue gun and glue sticks. Trim the top and bottom ends of the craft sticks with scissors.
STEP FIVE
Paint the craft stick barn door with Titanium White acrylic craft paint. Let dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary.
STEP SIX
Attach the barn door to the bottom center of the barn with a glue gun and glue sticks. Using scissors, cut two regular craft sticks at angles, slightly longer than the jumbo craft stick roof. They will become the barn shingles.
STEP SEVEN
Basecoat the craft stick shingles with black acrylic craft paint. Let dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary. Attach to the left and right-hand side of the roof with a glue gun and glue sticks.
