Glue a craft stick across the top and another across the bottom to hold the sticks in place. This piece will become the box lid. Set it aside for now.<br /><br />Step 2: Repeat step 1, using 11 sticks instead of 12, to make the box base.<br /><br />Step 3: With the cross sticks facing up, place another set of craft sticks on the opposite 2 edges of the base, perpendicular to the first set of cross sticks. Glue in place where the sticks overlap each other. Build up the sides in this manner, alternating the top and bottom edges with the left and right, until there are a total of 10 sticks on each side. Let dry.<br /><br />Step 4: Glue a barrel bead to the bottom of each corner of the base, and glue the last barrel bead to the middle of the lid on the top side not the side with the cross sticks. Let dry.
