| Popsicle sticks
From Hjvagar at HGTV
 Now
at the beginning of this I will tell you - these are the directions
from the book. I did make a few adjustments because it just didn't seem
right to me. My adjustments did not make my life any easier lol. Take 2
double pages of newspaper. Cut or rip them in 1/2 so you have 4 pages.
Stack them on top of each other. Mark 4" down from the top and 3" in
from one side and cut. Once it's all cut fold the papers in 1/2
bringing the top 1/2 to the bottom edge. Fold the papers in 1/2 again
the same way - top to bottom. Fold the papers in 1/2 a 3rd time but
this time bring the left side to the right side of the papers. Take a
pencil or a bone folder and crease this fold. This crease will be the
center of the popsicle. Open up the last fold and roll one side toward
the crease in the middle. Use a clip to hold it in place. Then roll the
other side in and clip it. Take masking tape and put it down the crease
between the two rolls, around the bottom and up the back between the
two rolls. Take off the clips. You can add your hanger now if you want.
It said to put your sticks in now but I will add here - up to this
point they can be flattened kind of easy so I added more newspaper like
paper mache. Once it was dry I made a slit on both sides of the bottom.
Then I started putting hot glue inside and shoved the sticks in.
Another thing I will add - try to get them as smooth as you can. You
end up using more of the diamond dust to hide all those blemishes if
you don't. In the book it said to use another layer of colored tissue
paper over the newspaper. I didn't have any (just white) so I went
ahead and painted them. Let it dry completely. Then I took some glue,
put it in a dish with some water (not much, just enough to water it
down so it's easy to brush on), brushed it on one side at a time and
sprinkled the diamond dust on while it was still wet. Voila -
popsicles. I want to make more in different colors. In the book it had
them in green, red, yellow and purple. I thought the red and purple
looked the best but that's probably because those are my fav flavors
lol.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is
fighting some kind
of battle.

SHERWOOD OREGON SMALL TOWN USA

It's a protest
against all those
years during which Sherwood almost
gave up. The loss of our historic school house is just one tragic
result of those times.

Sherwood
History in a Nutshell
 herwood Oregon U.S.A.
started
to receive mail from the U. S. postal department on July 5, 1891. This
town had been platted as the Town of Smockville two years earlier by
James Christopher Smock and Mary Ellen Smock. The Smock plat was filed
the same year (1889) the Portland and Willamette
Valley Railroad
arrived here. Today this nine block district is referred to as "Old
Town" and features numerous sites of interest, including the original
rail right of way and a road corridor once traveled by covered wagons.
What is believed to be the first Ford dealership in Oregon was located
on First Avenue-- across from the oldest American Legion Hall west of
the Mississippi River. The Town of Sherwood was reorganized as the City
of Sherwood in 1926. The City's economy was structured around the rail
line and went into serious decline as trucks and automobiles replaced
the passenger train. Sherwood's economy was rescued, it seems, by the
Oregon Land Use Law
of 1974, which required the town to share an Urban Growth Boundary with
Oregon's largest city, Portland, and to join the Portland Metropolitan
Service District ("Metro").
