If you position them perpendicularly, that would create more structural reinforcement than if you used parallel placement. An easy way to do this would be to simply add another row of craft sticks to the bottom of the row that you already created. In hindsight (something I may go back to do later on mine), you might want to think about reinforcing this structure. Then, turn the structure over so that they form the bottom of it. To do this, simply hot glue a row of craft sticks across the top of the walls. Next, you need to give the bird feeder its floor.Once you have completed both, set them aside for now. Repeat step 5 to create a second identical piece.

Below, you can see this process in action as well as what the outcome should look like. Then, use hot glue to attach a row of perpendicular craft sticks over the top of these. They should be the same approximate width from each other as well. To create the first one, place two craft sticks parallel to each other, just as you did at the very beginning of this project when you started making the walls of the bird feeder. It is going to have a pitched design, so it will consist of two squares or rectangles of equal size. Next, you are going to make the roof of the bird feeder.The taller you make them, the deeper the feeder will be. They will form the walls of the bird feeder. Layer them up as high as you want them to go. If you played with Lincoln Logs as a kid, you are stacking these craft sticks in the same basic fashion. Continue using hot glue to layer up the craft sticks in this alternating manner.These ones should be aligned with the first two that you originally placed down. Place two more craft sticks on top of the square you have created.Next, dab some more hot glue on all four corners.Orient them perpendicularly to the first two and hot glue them at the corners so that you have created a square shape. Then, place two more craft sticks on top of those. To get started, place two craft sticks in front of you parallel to one another.
