Let's get started!
STEP 1: Take two broom sticks and tape them together by putting tape on top, middle and end of it as shown.
STEP 2: Look if your stick is strongly put together. If not, cover it with more tape. Do it with all the straws, make 8 sticks such as in the picture.
STEP 3: Arrange those sticks to form a square.
Remember not to leave gaps between the Sticks.
STEP 4: Now attach two 1 inch each piece of tape under both your sticks and place one edge of the tape on the other edge.
STEP 5: Bring your Cardboard box and unfold it and cut it to the length of your square.
STEP 6: Take the square and tape it to Cardboard, just like in the picture.
STEP 7: Take two new sticks and stick their ends together with tape, so they form a roughly 30-degree angle.
Do the same on another pair of sticks.
STEP 8: Tape the two ends of the triangle made above to two parallel edges of our Square Cardboard.
After completing the previous step, your triangle will stand up like this!
STEP 9: Do the same to the other triangle.
STEP 10: Poke holes in the tape by which we connected our triangle and place a long stick between them.
STEP 11: Place your trash bag over the stick stand.
STEP 12: Let the Paper Clippers hold the trash cover to the stick stand. It will look like this at the end.
Congratulations on completing your project!
