Sliding Door Barn using Popsicle Sticks

Standard
This project took a little bit of time for me. I tried to recreate one of the YouTube videos that i saw. Just type ‘ How to make a Schleich Stall with Sliding Door and Wood Flooring‘ in YouTube.
The girl in the video has explained quite clearly how to go about making the stall.This is my recreation of it. My daughter has a lot of farm animal toys lying around so i decided to make a barn for her so that she could keep all of them in one place and play with it.

You need the following items:

1. A glue gun
2. Popsicle Sticks
3. Scissors
4. A cardboard

First i made the stalls for the barn by sticking popsicle sticks as shown below in the pictures. I made 6 of them in total.

Then stick 5 of them together to form a rectangle shape. Stick them onto the cardboard.

To make a sliding door first i need to railings. To make  the railings take popsicle sticks and stick them as straight as possible to the length of the cardboard. Make 6 of them in total. Take 3 and stick them together as shown below. Do the same to the next 3 and you should get two railings as shown below.

Stick one railing on top and one below as shown. Slide the remaining stall and close the edges. You should be able to slide the door.
