How to Make a Picket Fence Project:
A finished picket fence.
Step 2: Paint both sides of these and the regular craft sticks white, letting the first side dry before painting the second. Let dry.
Step 3: While the paint is drying, ask a grown-up to use a serrated knife to carefully cut a 6 x 1-1/2-inch block from the green floral foam.
Step 4: Push the glued ends of the fence posts down about 1/2 inch into the foam block, 1/4 inch apart from each other and centered between the two long edges. Push every other fence post in about 1/4 inch deeper. Add a dollop of glue for added support where the posts meet the foam. Glue the two regular sticks horizontally across the front of the mini jumbo sticks.
 Push the sticks down into the foam block. |
Step 5: Glue decorative green moss to cover the foam block base. Arrange small flower bunches on each side of the fence, and glue in place into the foam.
Step 6: Slide a note or photo between the craft stick posts (remember, the top ends aren't glued together.)
