Starting building a normal Flower Stick

So a Flower stick is very easy to make on your own.

You just need:

• A long pipe (about 50 cm and 1 cm diameter) for the Main-stick
• 2 smaller ones for the hand-sticks (around 30 cm, 1cm diameter)
• Rubber strip to cover the pipes and generate friction, I took the rubber used for tennis racket
• Some material for the flowers, I recicled two bycicle tiers that I just cutted and rolled

To attach the rubber strips on the pipe, after cutting them I used a specific glue for rubber.

The best part at the end is to remove the protective plastic layer

I brought from home the cutted bycicle tiers, so I just needed to roll them around the pipes.

This is the basic flower stick and the base structure for my final project prototype.
