Take nine of the craft sticks, and hot glue them together in stacks of three. Then take on of the pieces you just made, and evenly space five individual craft sticks along one of the thin edges. Then, adhere them in place, using hot glue. (As shown in picture 2) Then take the other two stacked craft sticks, and glue them on the other end, and in the middle. Finally, glue the five remaining craft sticks to the top, to form a mini pallet!
