  • Then attach it to the back of the mouse trap
  • The size you can estimate with your eyes.

Step 5: Ice-Cream Stick

  • Do it for both sides

Step 6: Prepare

  • Pay attention to this part because the mouse trap may not work
  • After you finish, put it into the mousetrap
  • Note that the cream stick of the upper part must be in the hole for the mechanism to work (Fifth photo)

Step 7: Mouse Trap

  • Continue to prepare the popsicle stick as shown.
  • The length of ice cream sticks has no specific size. Please estimate by eye
  • But don't worry, it will work
  • Note use a small water pipe so the toothpick can skew through it ( Second photo)
  • After you finish, put it into the mouse trap

Step 8: Rubber Band

  • Carefully fasten it with super glue (502) and cut off any excess toothpick
