Popsicle-Stick Rocking Chair

This Instructables will show you how to make your very own rocking chair to scale!

Step 1: 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!
