April fools joke: Melting popsicle paperweight

Step 5 Making the hole for the popsicle stick

Okay so now the popsicle is completely sanded, we continue to making it an actual popsicle by inserting the popsicle stick!

So i didn't really know how to do this so I improvised. If you ever had technology or woodworking class or any other class on working with tools the first rule you should have learned is: never use tools for something they are not intended to do!

But seeing as I couldn't come up with any better I  decided to do it anyway. Note however that I used an old flat screwdriver that I had laying around and that nobody would use anymore. Don't do this with your good tools or with borrowed tools allright?

So just secure your wood and hammer the screwdriver into the bottom of the wood very gently. Hammer it in for around 2 cm while regulary removing the screwdriver and removing excessive woodchips. (to avoid the wood cracking in two)


Then cut your popsicle to the length you desire and test it out. Do not secure it  with woodglue at this moment! It's better to wait untill you have painted it otherwise you will need to be carefull to not paint it along with the rest.
