With all the crafts that I do  I go through a lot of glue sticks.  I always hate the idea of throwing them away…. I always try to find crafts that I can make out of recycled items.  And, glue sticks are no exception.  Here is a great craft you can make with your used glue sticks.  Today I’m going to show you how to make a Glue Stick Man out of your recycled glue sticks.  You will see what a great feeling you get from making something out of recycled materials.  Plus, you get a very cool toy man.
