{"product_id":"natural-wood-ice-lolly-sticks-20cm-x-25mm-pack-of-50","title":"Natural Wood Ice Lolly Sticks — 20cm x 25mm — Pack of 50","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe larger format craft stick — 20cm long and 25mm wide — that opens up a considerably wider range of construction and craft possibilities than the standard smaller lolly stick. At this size these are genuinely structural craft sticks, capable of carrying real weight and forming stable frames, panels, and three-dimensional constructions that smaller sticks simply cannot achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eNatural birch wood, smooth, splinter-free, and completely untreated — the natural surface takes paint, acrylic, marker, ink, glue, and varnish without any preparation needed. The flat profile and consistent dimensions make them easy to stack, align, and join accurately. They can be cut with scissors or a craft knife for shorter lengths, and the flat ends are perfectly suited to being joined edge-to-edge or face-to-face with PVA, wood glue, or hot glue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAt this generous size the uses multiply considerably beyond what a standard lolly stick allows — picture frames, small box constructions, model buildings, furniture for dolls houses and model villages, garden plant labels large enough to write on clearly, woven panels, simple looms, and structural elements in mixed media and assemblage art are all practical applications. They are equally at home in classroom and workshop craft sessions as in home craft projects, and the pack of 50 gives a useful working quantity for most small to medium scale constructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20cm long x 25mm wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural birch wood, untreated\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePack contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 sticks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat can large craft sticks be used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePicture frames, model buildings and structures, plant labels, woven panels, dolls house and model furniture, gift boxes, small looms, assemblage art, mixed media construction, and any project where a flat, natural wood element is needed.
