Hobby Followup - Popsicle Stick House Roof

Today we are posting our most requested how-to video, the roof for our Popsicle stick house.

'How to Make a Popsicle Stick House' is our most watched video, with nearly ten times as many views as our second most popular movie. Many readers and viewers have requested we explain how to make the roof to our house, so we finally got around to doing it! Basically, we attempted to make the roof in the original video, but failed horribly and cut that part out of the film. Now you can finally see how it is done.



Materials:
-18 Popsicle sticks
-Pencil
-Scissors
-Glue
-Weights
-Roofless Popsicle stick house

To make your own roof, notch cut 16 of the sticks and pair them together. Use the remaining two sticks to connect the 8 pairs. Just watch the video.



Have fun and check back next week for more hobbies.

Hobby 6: Making a Popsicle Stick House

New week, new hobby. Today we are building something everyone can enjoy, a popsicle stick house.

It all started when we were walking down the isles of the local hobby store, buying anything that looked good. Stumbling across a bag of popsicle sticks, Patty suggested, "Let's build a popsicle stick house! It's so easy to do too; we did these in kindergarten." Jo quickly responded, "Patty please. We are men. I think we can handle something a little more complex. Like a dragon or a boat." "Yeah, nothing short of a popsicle stick mansion. Trust me, I took wood working back in highschool. I know this stuff," Mike added.


"We're sorry. We're so sorry."

Materials:

-Making the roof

The goal was to get so good, we can make something like this out of popsicle sticks:


Basically, making the house was incredibly hard. Especially the roof. We edited out the part where we struggle to make the roof. Please don't do this hobby.
