The first board: 3 long pieces of popsicle stick, 4 short
pieces of popsicle stick.
The second board: 4 longest pieces of popsicle stick, 4 small short pieces of popsicle stick.
Carefully glue each piece one at a time as shown using wood glue.
We will need 2 shuriken throwing stars images, each image was glued at the top of each board.
Let this sit to dry.
