Boredom Busters



Tiny Easel

Materials

Acrylic paint

4 craft sticks

Glue

Small piece of card stock

Pencil (to hold easel in place while it's drying)

Paper strips

Instructions

Paint the 4 craft sticks and let them dry.

Glue a card stock triangle hinge (A) to three of the sticks, leaving a space between the front two sticks and the back stick, as shown (B). Glue the fourth stick across the front to create a shelf (C) and use a pencil to prop it in place while the glue dries. Finally, bend the easel at the hinge and attach one end of a 2-inch paper strip to the shelf and the other end to the back stick for added stability.
