Materials
Directions
Paint your sticks one solid, base color and allow them to dry.
Cover one end of each stick in painter's tape. Paint the uncovered ends any color and then let them dry.
Remove the tape and allow the second color to dry.
Using your hot glue gun, fasten magnets on the backs of the sticks, one magnet on each end.
Once they're dry, stick them on the fridge and start making shapes and scenes! You can use them to hang pictures or artwork as well.
