Step 1Items you will need

Items you will need

Below are the items you will need to make a rocking chair! This Instructables takes an estimated time of 30 min to complete:

  1. Popsicle sticks of course, they can be used ones (fun part) or buy them at your local craft/hobby store!
  2. Hot glue gun, or any other type of glue like elmers or gorrilla, but hot glue is fast and easy to work with.
  3. If your using a hot glue gun be sure to have lots of glue sticks!
  4. A pie pan (my cheap way  to catch the dripping glue, and yes.. the pie was quite tastey!)
  5. You will need a pair of scissors/shears, not your good pair because cutting popsicle sticks could damage the blades!
  6. Water in a glass/cup (seriously important to avoid stick splintering/breaking)
OPTIONAL- a rubberband, you will see why in the later steps!

that's an interesting technique to bend the Popsicle sticks.
