Making round wooden sticks is a simple and fun craft project that can be used for things like DIY crafts, home décor, or children's toy making. Below I will elaborate on the simple handmade method of making round wooden sticks:
Prepare materials and tools
Round wooden sticks: Choose round wooden sticks with a moderate diameter and a smooth surface with no obvious cracks.
Sandpaper: Used to sand the surface of the round wooden sticks.
Saw: A tool to adjust the length of the log stick as needed.
Hand file: used to trim the ends of the round wooden sticks.
Wood glue: used to glue round wooden sticks.
Paint or wood wax: used to decorate and protect round wooden sticks.
Crop and adjust
Use a saw to saw the round wooden rods to the desired length.
Use a hand file to trim the ends of the log stick so that it is flat and to remove burrs.
Grinding treatment
Use coarse sandpaper to do a preliminary sand on the surface of the round wooden sticks to make the surface smoother.
Then use fine sandpaper to finely sandpaper until there are no obvious bumps on the surface of the round wooden stick.
Assembly and gluing
If you need to assemble multiple round wooden sticks together, you can use wood glue to glue them together.
Confirm the position and angle of each log stick before bonding to ensure the best result after assembly.
Decoration and protection
Depending on personal preference, paint or wood wax can be used to decorate and protect the round wooden sticks.
Paint adds color and shine to the sticks, while wax protects the surface from moisture and abrasion.
Done
After waiting for the wood glue and paint or wood wax to dry completely, the round wood stick making is complete.
The made log sticks can be used for different purposes as needed, such as making toys, stirring sticks, or decorations.
With the above steps, you can easily make beautiful round wooden sticks, enjoy the fun of crafting and create all kinds of useful objects.
