Well the best thing to do is first get a bottom. Usually a peice of cardboard or something sturdier will do. Then you need to make a frame out of popsicle sticks with thick glue connecting to your base. After that's all done than just build from there.
If you go "online" type in popcicle stick plans you will find many sites for plans using pop, craft, and other sticks. Your paddle sticks pose a problem because of there shape, you can stagger them slightly to match up better and use stright sticks on the back for gluing your paddle sticks together. Here are a few sites:
Step1 First take the sticks and decide for yourself how big you want your house to be. Estimate on the piece of cardboard. Step2 You are going to start building, and you're going to do it like Lincoln logs. Place two down and then another two on top of these, across.
Step3 If your house is bigger you can put down as many sticks in a line to make your outline. Glue them down so they stay in place. Once you get your desired size you can go ahead and continue building up.
Step4 Want to make a door or windows? Cut some sticks of the same size and lay them approximately where you want the door, as you will do this first from the bottom. Make little sticks to give a square-shaped door hole, and guess for yourself how tall it will be. Leave the door-hole for now as you can make a door for it later if you want.
Step5 Now as you build up you will notice how much space is between each stick. You don't want this, you want them to be flat and sticking together. So after a few layers, take a heavy book (lay a paper down on top first) and place it on there to give it some weight. Do this while the glue is still fresh so that it can dry like this.
Step6 After this first half-house is done is when you can make windows. Do the same procedure as the door one. Make sure whatever you do the sticks for the window-holes are even, as you don't want a crookedly-looking hole.
Step7 Finish it up to a height you think looks right. Close the hole by laying sticks across and gluing them down.
Step8 For a roof and windows, you can make them out of anything else. Try thicker popsicle sticks if you want. Be creative. With a roof you can shape it yourself out of the sticks or use craft wood instead. The details that come after the initial making are all up to your imagination and creativity.
Step9 When you're all done you can paint. Be careful not to drip down too much on your cardboard base, as it will make it look messy. Lay down some paper before you paint if you think it will run.
Go online and type in popsicle stick plans, you will find many sites with plans, how-to etc.
With a lot of time and blueprints.
It would take 400 popsicle stick
Well, If fill a small cup with juice, and stick a popsicle stick, or a fork inside, and put it in the freezer, and wait 3 or 4 hours+, it will be frozen, and you can pull the Popsicle out and eat it by the fork:)
No
They do where I live.
They are bleached or otherwise treated to prevent breakdown. So composting will take quite a while. So my answer is- a Popsicle stick will take a long time to decompose.
Well I think Popsicle stick
use a popsicle stick
iiiiiiiidkkkkk
Use a truss design. Remember to use lots of triangles as they are the strongest geometrical shape, and also, if you are just testing only the strongest Popsicle stick bridge, use many reinforced Popsicle sticks (two or more popsicle sticks laid on-top of each other). Make your bridge as symmetrical as possible, as this well help your bridge endure more surface and joint tension.If you are using popsicle sticks for your deck as well, you should probably double layer it, then add a zigzag or triangles pattern of sticks on the bottom the deck, to further reinforce it. When you make joints with your popsicle sticks, make it look something like this: --------_______-------- <stick layout keep that pattern consistent, with out laying them in a stair type pattern. Think of those small sturdy bridges with wide, geometrical beams.

Use a lot of sticks.
Moulds are often used in an industrial setting. If you're trying to make popsicles at home and are having a hard time with tipping sticks- cover the tray your using in ClingWrap and poke your popsicle sticks through the plastic. This will keep the stick in the middle of your popsicle.
