You’ll want a popsicle stick lower to three 1/4 inches. We’ll name this the anchor piece. I didn’t have popsicle sticks so I simply used a strip of balsa wooden that I had readily available. I coloured the underside of mine brown with a marker. 

Subsequent, lower your twigs.

Since I merely used an inches to centimeters conversion device, it’s possible you’ll must do some rounding up or right down to make the measurements simpler to measure and lower.

Begin on the prime of your anchor piece, put glue on the primary half inch or so. I like to recommend utilizing a glue gun,  the glue dries rapidly and it’s straightforward to appropriate errors.
