Over the last several I have collected quite a number of paint covered sticks I use to stir paint. I decided to use some of them to make some tiny multi-colored boards to board up some window openings in a tall building wall sculpture.
First I cut the rounded ends of the sticks off. After cutting each stick into 2 inch segments I cut each segment length wise into two narrower pieces.
I sanded the paint off the backside of the narrow boards for gluing purposes.
