How to build a windmill out of popcicles sticks? ...
Answers: You will need paste, razor blades and a picture to guide you. (Oh, I'm also assuming you are going to be making a Dutch type of windmill....)
Can you solely use popsicle sticks? If not, add toothpicks and quality newspaper clips to your list. Toothpicks are great for accumulation detail and for using as supports. The paper clip can be open to help support the blades so that they will spin.
You can put together the base square or to be fancy a pentagon or octagon!
-Begin by drawing the shape of the bottom on the windmill.
-Cut and lay the popsicle sticks flat on a piece of wood that will hold your windmill.
-I would verbs gluing pieces over this base near the sticks laying flat on top. It will whip a lot but it will allow you to stagger the sticks so that you can product the walls go contained by and out depending on the placement of your sticks.
-When your base is done, place sticks on top to cover it up.
-Begin constructing your blades. Make a hole surrounded by the middle so that it can spin.
-Now build a "block" on top of your foundation with sticks.
-Build a top for your windmill and that will sit on the foot.
-Insert the blades into the block...
-Use the toothpicks as window trim, door trim and for the blades. You can also use it for support and structure if you use the sticks differently.
It sounds confusing but I hope you can variety sense out of this suggestions. Good luck.
