Approximate Time: 1 day (accounting for the glue drying time)
Lay the 2 sticks out across from each other on your left and one on your right.
Lay 2 more across the first 2 in the opposite direction. Glue the tips of the sticks where they touch at the corners.
Add each row gluing the corners.
This box has 9 rows (36 sticks for the 4 sides).
The bottom can be glued on after the rows are completely dried. Put a layer of glue on the complete bottom after it has been glued to the sticks on the side.
The top is made by laying 2 sticks opposite each other. Lay each stick close to each other and going across the first 2 laid down. Gluing to the 2 laid down first. After dried put a layer of glue across the whole top to hold sticks in place.
Attach a large button for the handle.
Let each piece dry completely. Paint and decorate as you please.
