November 1 came and I needed to do my first day of pinning. I had all sorts of great ideas for cute crafts, fashion forward outfits, delicious dinners, you get the idea. However, WHAM, busy day hit and any sort of "extra" thing I wanted to do that day had to go out the window.
One thing I HAD to do that day was teach my local cub scout group. I knew what we were doing for most of the day, but I had to build a model of a bridge. Hhmm. My first thought was to take wooden blocks and just see what they came up with. That felt a little lame, so I did a Pinterest search (not to be confused with a Google search) and came up with these cool popsicle stick bridges.
Most tutorials recommended using wood glue, but that was going to take way too long to dry, so hot glue it was. I laugh now thinking about my 8 cub scouts each armed with a glue gun. We had a few burns, but all in all they did pretty good.
Sadly, we were crazy busy at cubs so I don't have a picture of any of the ones they made. I'll just say they weren't quite as pretty and lined up as the one above. They all decided that their bridges would kill people. Oops.
Thanks Pinterest for helping me with cubs today, I really appreciate it.
