You can use 2 Popsicle sticks to make a finger splint. Place one stick on each side of the finger and tape around it or use a triangle bandage with a square knot above and below the broken part. If you are trying to splint another part of the body try not to use Popsicle sticks because they aren't long enough since you need to demobilize both joints above and below a break. I would suggest for arm or legs using wood planks or magazines to splint.
A working model of a windmill is easy to construct from popsicle sticks. Simply place four popsicle sticks across each other at angles. Then put a nail through the middle of the sticks to attach them all together making the hole a little bigger than needed. Attach to a base.
You will need glue, 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 only use popsicle sticks? If not, add toothpicks and paper clips to your list. Toothpicks are great for adding detail and for using as supports. The paper clip can be opened to help support the blades so that they will spin. You can make 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 continue gluing pieces on top of this base with the sticks laying flat on top. It will take a lot but it will allow you to stagger the sticks so that you can make the walls go in 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 in the middle so that it can spin. -Now build a "block" on top of your base with sticks. -Build a top for your windmill and that will sit on the base. -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 make sense out of this suggestions. Good luck.
Four Sticks was created in 1919-12.
Cover the work area with a newspaper or butcher paper. you will need sticks (approx 4" long) and glue Lay two sticks on the paper about three inches apart. Now glue sticks across them side by side from one end to the other. (It looks like a raft) Make five of these. They will be three walls and the roof. On the next one, leave a space for the door, and glue sticks across the top of the door. Now glue four walls together, and glue the two roof pieces. For a picture see the "stick house" link I have provided. (Scroll down to the house). For more pop stick activities, see popsicle stick arts and crafts link.

It is safe to sleep in a splint if all of the points following are adhered to: 1. It is vital and necessary for the patient to be wearing a splint. 2. That the proximal and distal pulses are recorded and compared every four hours by a trained practioner. 3. But however this is dependant on the type of splint, the age of the patient and the nature of the injury or condition. For further information or advise consult local GP or Pre-Hospital Care Centre.
Here in the US, that's two sticks; as four sticks equals one whole pound of butter, or oleo-margarine.
