May your symbol of the High Republic shine bright for light and life. Step 25: Slide Starlight Beacon onto the toothpick through the straw. Step 24: Paint the toothpick and any visible hot glue with black acrylic paint. Hot glue it to the center of the bottom edge of the painted bookend, pointed side up at a 60-degree angle. Step 23: Break another toothpick in half. Step 22: Use the dotting tool or paint brush and the orange acrylic paint to add “lights” around the bottom straw piece. Step 21: Use the black and silver acrylic paint for any touch-ups as needed. Note: Any overspray of the silver is okay as long as the bottom side remains darker than the top. Step 20: Paint the top half of the station with the silver spray paint. Step 19: It’s time to paint! In a well-ventilated area, paint the bottom half of Starlight Beacon with the black spray paint. Hot glue them on the strip of craft foam on the chopstick, on opposite sides. Step 18: Cut two small rectangles from the craft foam, one about 0.5 inches in length and the other 0.25 inches in length. Step 17: Cut another small strip of craft foam and hot glue it around the chopstick, near the top. Hot glue these pieces to the both top and bottom of the station as greeblies to add more details. Step 16: Find small plastic pieces like food packaging, clothing tags, twist ties, and spare LEGO pieces. Glue them around the edge of the large bottle lid. Step 15: Cut small rectangles of craft foam no larger than 0.5 inches in length. Step 14: Cut a small, thin strip of craft foam and glue it around the straw. (You can add as many as you’d like for more details.) Step 13: Break two toothpicks and glue the four pieces around the straw, pointed side up. Note: If the temperature of the hot glue is too high, the straw will melt! Hot glue it to the center of the station’s bottom side. Step 12: Cut a piece of the large plastic straw 1.5 inches in length. Step 11: Hot glue both the pointed chopstick piece and the bottom chopstick piece, larger side up, to the center of the station’s top side. Step 10: Cut another piece about 1 inch from the bottom of the chopstick. Step 9: Use clippers or a wire cutter to cut a piece 2.5 inches long from the top of the chopstick. Hot glue all 6 in a circle around the small bottle lid on the top of the station, evenly spaced. Step 8: Place a little hot glue on the bottom of each toothpick. Wrap the paper square around the non-pointy end of a toothpick half and hot glue it in place. Step 7: Cut six 1-inch squares from the white printer paper. Step 6: Next, snap or cut 3 toothpicks in half. This is the bottom side of Starlight Beacon. Step 5: Hot glue the other bottle cap to the outside (convex) side of the large lid, top side up. Step 4: Hot glue one bottle cap to the inside (concave) side of the large bottle drink lid, top side up. Step 3: Use the white acrylic paint and a small paint brush or dotting tool to paint stars on all sides and edges. Step 2: Paint the wood block with the black acrylic paint on all sides and edges. Use PVA or wood glue to adhere the vertical block in place and let dry. Line up the other block vertically along one edge to create an “L” shape.
