1 Picnic table from ice lolly sticks: Cut 3 lolly sticks measuring 6 cm and 2 lolly sticks measuring 3.3 cm to go across. For the table legs: cut 4 lolly sticks at an angle (see photo) measuring 3 cm and 2 lolly sticks measuring 6.5 cm. For the benches: cut 2 lolly sticks each measuring 6 cm.
2 Glue all the ice lolly sticks together (except the two benches) as illustrated and leave to dry.
3 Cut the horizontal lolly sticks on the table legs at an angle and glue the bench lolly sticks onto these. Leave to dry.
4 Parasol: Cut an ice lolly stick measuring 8 cm. Cut a circle from patterned card with a diameter of 9 cm. Fold the card circle to make a total of 8 folds by folding four times from one side and then four times from the other side, creating a total of 16 scored lines. Arrange these scored lines into the shape of a pleated shade. Glue a bead onto the top of the shade and glue an ice lolly stick onto the shade from the inside. Leave to dry.
