[Nfb-krafters-korner] sled addition

[Terry Knox]

To the List,

I will post some oldies to the list that I have compiled over the years and
give credit to the ones who listed them, if I have it. Please keep a file on
these things as I will not repeat them and only hope I will not be told to
stop them. Below I will start with the Popsicle Stick Sled Ornaments, fast,
cute and easy.

9 to 10 Popsicle Sticks and more if using a back Glue Scrapbook paper in a
winter or Christmas theme Six strand embroidery thread in matching color
Aluminum foil

Directions
Glue 7 Popsicle sticks side by side by the edge to make top of sled When
dry, place on scrap paper and trace around paper and glue onto top if
desired, or paint sled a color or clear finish sled Turn over and glue two
sticks on the edge to make runners, glued on the thin sides to bottom of
sled Fold and glue aluminum foil to bottom runners to make blades Turn over
on the top and cut a stick in half and glue to front of sled to make a pull,
allowing it to hang over a little on each side.
Braid the thread and glue onto the pull or make two holes on the left and
right of the pull to pull the end of the thread thru and knot on the bottom
Sled completed see below

Variations on sled:
Take sticks and cut in half and glue cut side down in a curve in back of
sled as a sled back, if desired.
Glue a small stuffed animal or doll or sled or a knitted hat and mittens in
mini and sled ready to hang.
Make a few, paint them red, or blue or glitter paint the top you can even
glue down fake fur on the top instead of paper, there is so many things you
can do with this cute little sled. Have fun and watch for the next post.
