Mini Easel

What You’ll Need:

• glue
• craft sticks
• ruler
• scissors
• corrugated cardboard

How to Make It:

1. For one long leg, glue two craft sticks together end to end. Overlap them by a half inch. Repeat to make another long leg.

2. When both legs are dry, glue them together to form a V that is 3 inches wide at the open end.

3. For a ledge, glue three craft sticks one on top of the other. Glue the ledge to the V, about 1½ inches from the open end.

4. Cut a 1-inch-by-2-inch piece of corrugated cardboard. To form a flap, make two ½-inch cuts a half inch apart at the bottom of the square. Glue a craft stick to the flap. Let it dry.

5. Glue the cardboard to the back of the V (the ledge side is the front), halfway between the bottom and the top. Trim the excess off the sides.
